Instructions

  1. Rinse the split peas in a colander under cold water.
  2. Transfer the peas to a medium-size pot along with water, or stock, and salt.
  3. Bring the peas to a boil over high heat.
  4. Add on a lid and simmer over low heat for 25 minutes or just until tender.
  5. Strain the cooked peas and use in a recipe, or chill to use in a recipe later. See reheating instructions.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: You can make these split peas up to 1 day ahead of time.
  • How to Store: Cover and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can freeze these covered for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the refrigerator until soft before using.
  • How to Reheat: Add the desired number of cooked split peas to a medium-sized sauce pot with a ¼ cup of water or stock and cook over low heat until warm. If you use it in a soup like Scotch Broth, you can add the chilled split peas right to the soup, and the broth from the soup will heat them.
  • Follow the same recipe for red, yellow, or brown split peas.
