While the weather on the east coast has been heating up, today was a gloomy sunday in Los Angeles. This day reminds me of Gloomy Sunday, a beautiful film set in lovely Budapest in the 1930's.
Ingredients:
2 small yellow onions, finely diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 large carrot, diced
1 zucchini, diced
1 large potato, diced
1 cup of dry green or yellow split peas, picked over and rinsed
1 lemon (zest and juice)
6 cups of water
olive oil
cumin
paprika
salt
pepper
2 Tbsp Bragg's Liquid Aminos (optiona)
1/4 cup quinoa (optional)
Directions:
Saute onions in a soup pot in plenty of olive oil on medium heat until golden brown.
Add lemon zest, cumin, garlic and lots of paprika and mix well with the onions.
Add carrot, zucchini, potato, split peas (and quinoa) and let saute until the veggies are well coated in olive oil.
Add water, cover and bring to boil; put the heat on low and cook for 30-60 more minutes until the split peas are soft.
Take off the heat.
Add lemon juice, salt, pepper, Bragg's liquid aminos.
Puree in a classic blender or use an immersion blender.
Enjoy with toast and avocado!
