tips
- Rinse 1 cup (250 mL) dry split peas with cool water, drain and transfer to a medium pot. Add 2 cups (500 mL)water, cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and boiling over. Add more water as needed to keep peas covered. Drain and rinse under cold water before adding to salad.
