Directions:I'm kind of recently living a bachelor life. i'm also recently eating more fresh, live high fiber food. i'm not going vegetarian per se, but i am eating healthier than i ever have. point is, i bought a bunch of bags of dry beans. now i know how to make some killer black beans, cause mama taught me when i was young. had no idea how to make pea soup though. so my friend said, "just do whatever you always do with everything; it always comes out great." so i thought, OK, that means lots of garlic, onion and olive oil. after sauté of said onion, garlic and pepper in olive oil (at least coat pan- i use a little more), and adding this standard Shihan sofrito to my peas and water in the crock-pot, it still seemed like something was missing. like i said, i'm not a vegetarian yet. so we added the half rotisserie chicken breast leftover from lunch. it was a Caribbean marinated breast we had gotten from the local supermarket's deli that day. when i got up the next morning, i knew by the smell we were in for a treat! the chicken fell off the bone and mixed with all the other ingredients to make the best dam split pea soup i ever had! i hope you like it too. |
