split peas

🥗Healthier: lentils

💰Cheaper: yellow peas

Lentils are high in protein and cook faster.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Coconut oil adds flavor and is a healthier fat.

Wash the split peas thoroughly and soak them overnight with salt.

After soaking, drain the split peas and pat dry to remove excess water.

Grind the garlic and pepper together using a mortar and pestle, then mix in some cilantro.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium to low heat.

Add half of the split peas to the hot oil and fry, turning constantly until they float to the top, indicating they are done.

Remove the fried split peas using a strainer and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.

Immediately sprinkle with salt to infuse flavor while hot.

Mix in the previously ground garlic, pepper, and cilantro into the fried split peas.
