Lentil and Split Pea Dip
16 Servings
100% would make this recipe for Lentil and Split Pea Dip again.
A spicy, low fat alternative to commercial spreads. Very high in Potassium and fiber. Spicy, rich flavors, high fiber, and low GI make this a nice addition to a diabetic meal plan.

Instructions for Lentil and Split Pea Dip
Cook lentils and split peas in large pot of boiling salted water until very tender, about 35 minutes. Drain.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until onion is soft. Add turmeric and cumin and cook 30 seconds. Transfer mixture to a food processor. Add cooked lentils and split peas, cilantro, lemon juice, chili powder and remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Process until smooth. Adjust the consistancy with water as desired (thick as a spread or thin as a dip). Season generously with salt and pepper. Transfer to a medium bowl.
Serve with warm naan or pita bread that has been brushed with garlic flavored olive oil. Or, try it with some soy-based tortilla chips for a lower carb version.

We served this with toasted pita bread and some roasted garlic. The thicker consistancy spread nicely on the warm bread. [I posted this recipe.]
