    Yield: 1 Batch

    1 c Yellow split peas; heaping
    2 sm Onions; one chopped coarsely
    -and the other finely
    1 cl Garlic; chopped coarsely
    6 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
    1 tb Fresh oregano; chopped

    Rise the split peas under cold running water. Put in pan and add the
    coarsely chopped onoin, the garlic, and plenty of cold water. Bring
    to a boil then simmer for about 45 minutes, until very tender.

    Drain the split peas, reserving a little of the cooking liquid, and
    put in a food processor. Add 5 tablespoons of the olive oil and blend
    until smooth. If the mixture seems too dry, add enough of the
    reserved liquid to form a smooth, thich puree. Add the oregano and
    season with salt and pepper.

    chopped onion and extra oregano if desired. Drizzle over the
    remaining olive oil.
