Answer 2

Well I have an idea what you could do with them but sorry it is still soup. All the other ideas sounded uneatable to me. Split pea soup it a breeze to make. Make it all up according to your recipe. I like using a crock pot and letting it simmer all day, don't forget your ham-hock bones.

Freeze up in gallon bags to have a quick dinner later.

I enjoy giving soup as a get-well when friends are sick.

Good luck.

Split Pea Burgers

Difficulty: Intermediate

Prep Time: 35 minutes

Inactive Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Yield: 8 (5-ounce) burgers

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus 1 to 2 additional tablespoons for sauteing

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped bell pepper

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 teaspoons minced garlic

4 ounces mushrooms, sliced

3 cups vegetable broth

1 cup dry split peas, picked and rinsed

1/2 cup dry brown rice

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon ground cumin

3/4 cup plain dry bread crumbs, plus 1/4 cup for coating

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (4 to 6-quart) saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper along with a generous pinch of salt. Sweat for 5 minutes or until the onions are soft. Add the garlic and mushrooms and continue to cook for another 4 minutes.

Add the broth, peas, rice, coriander and cumin. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Decrease heat to low, cover and cook at a simmer for 1 hour or until the rice and peas are tender.

Remove from the heat and gently pour the mixture into the bowl of a food processor and process until just combined.* Do not puree. Pour this mixture into a bowl and stir in the 3/4 cup of bread crumbs. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground pepper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Shape the mixture into patties and dredge on each side in the remaining 1/4 cup of bread crumbs. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add 2 burgers at a time and saute until brown on each side, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side. To grill, cook on high for 3 to 4 minutes per side as well. Serve immediately.

*When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

HOPE THIS IS GOOD ENOUGH!

Answer 4

Go to www.foodnetwork.com. Type in split peas in the search bar. Alton Brown did a whole episode of Good Eats on split peas, so his recipes should come up when you type it in search. I have never had a bad recipe from Alton. Good luck.

Answer 5

Good question.

You could use them as a side, in a stew or casserole.

I hope you get some great answers as I am going to keep an eye on this one.
