Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow split peas rinsed and soaked overnight and throughly drained and patted dry, dried
- 1 yellow onion chopped, medium

Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a food processor. Make sure the peas have been thoroughly drained otherwise the mixture will be too wet. Pulse the ingredients to form a semi-smooth and gritty paste. Do not over-process.Form the mixture into patties (they will very moist). Cover and refrigerate the patties for at least 3 hours but preferably or overnight to give the flavors time to develop.
- Heat some oil in a frying pan and fry the patties on both sides until golden brown.Serve with your choice of dipping sauce like our Sweet Chili Sauce or use as a Burmese-style falafel with pita bread, veggies, tahini, and yogurt sauce.This makes about 16 two-inch patties.
