Recipe Review
In themselves, yellow split peas are only marginally more interesting than green split peas. I'm not sure why I thought adding some olive oil, an onion, and some chopped garlic was going to do something special. No, just some (quite well-cooked) yellow split peas.
The toppings make the difference. The Pickled Red Onions were quite good. The Wilted Parsley or Cilantro Topping was okay. (I was too lazy to do the tapenade or even to get a jar out of the pantry.)
The best topping was liberal slugs of Chipotle Tabasco.
