Cypriot Yellow Split Pea Dill Spread

This is really nice on toasted pumpernickel bread. I was really impressed with the flavor.

I followed the recipe as to the ingredients but not the preparation method. Here's how I made it - I used a pressure cooker for the initial cooking step (my pressure cooker is OK cooking beans without oil but I used my larger one to allow more room in case of foam). About 20 minutes in the pressure cooker got everything smooth and creamy with no need to transfer to a food processor or blender (I skipped the last clove of garlic). I cooked it a bit on low on the stove to thicken it a bit. After it had cooled, it thickened up to spread consistency.
