Instructions

In a medium-sized cooking pot heat a generous splash of olive oil over high heat.
Add the onion, spring onion, leek, and garlic, and cook until softened.
Pour 1 liter of water and wait until it starts to boil. Then reduce heat to medium and add the yellow split peas, carrot, celery, potato, bay leaf, Greek saffron, and 5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer partly covered for approximately 30 minutes. Taste the veggies to see if they're soft enough, if not, cook a few minutes more.
Stir in the lemon zest and juice and cook for 2 minutes more. Ready to serve!
