{gluten free + vegan} Yellow split pea pottage with curry

While the cookies of my next post are in the oven, I share my newest recipe of our favorite yellow split pea pottage. Last time I prepared it with chili, now I used curry for my family's biggest satisfaction.

Ingredients:
- 1 medium sized onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 300g yellow split peas
- 2 tbs curry powder
- a pinch of freshly ground roman cumin, pepper and salt
- 1L veggie broth
- 2 tbs olive oil

Slice up the onion and the garlic. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add onions and cook it stirring until they look glassy. Add the curry and cumin powder and cook for about a minute before adding the garlic, too. Add the yellow split peas to the mix and stirr it well. Pour the veggie broth to the peas and let them cook, if the water isn't enough then add more. Spice it with salt and pepper according to your taste. I like to spice it with a mix of Himalaya salt and herbs, too.
 

Yellow split pea pottage with chilli - gluten free & vegan

Pottage (or "főzelék" as we call it, others might call it soup) is the star in my family, especially when it's made of lentils, peas or yellow peas. Usually I use curry to prepare my yellow pea pottage but I found a recipe in a magazine on the other day that prepared it with chilli, so I decided to cook my own gluten free & vegan version.

Ingredients:
- 500g yellow split peas, rinsed
- 1 small chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon curry spice powder
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder or chilli paste
- little olive oil
- 1 big clove garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 dl Joya Finesse soy creamer
- salt, pepper, freshly ground cumin

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, cook stirring for about 5 minutes, then add the finely chopped garlic. Stir in the chilli and the curry powder and the rinsed yellow split peas. Pour double amount of water on the peas and add the tomato paste, too. Cook until peas are tender, stirring often. Add salt, pepper, cumin according to your taste. Add the soy creamer and boil it together.
