Yellow Split Pea Dal with Watercress

My favorite way of preparing split peas is to make a warm and comforting soup. (It’s a classic for a reason.) I also throw split peas in the rice cooker, the way I prepare lentils. The following is yet another way to add these nutritious little gems into your daily diet. Remember: In my ideal world, we’re all enjoying legumes (beans, chickpeas, split peas, or lentils) with every meal. If you prefer, use any type of lentil instead of the yellow split peas in this recipe. Serve this gorgeous dal over cooked whole grains. Dal, by the way, is the Indian word for “split pea,” or a dish made with them.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.
