Crunchy Split Pea Bites

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 1 1/2 cups

Ingredients

1 cup dried green or yellow split peas
3 cups water
4 teaspoons sesame oil
4 teaspoons neutral-tasting oil, such as canola or safflower
Coarse salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place split peas in a large bowl; add the water and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let soak at room temperature until softened, 4 to 5 hours.

    Step 2

    Drain split peas and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels. Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add 2 teaspoons of each type of oil. Add half the peas and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to turn golden brown in spots and become crunchy, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel–lined baking sheet. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste). Repeat with the remaining oil and peas. Let cool before serving. Peas may be kept for 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
