Course : Beans
From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 1
 

Ingredients:

3 cups split peas {yellow and green}
1 drop liquid smoke for 3 or 4 hours
2 medium Onions -- finely chopped
2 medium carrots -- grated
1 Cup vegetable stock
1 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 cup frozen peas {optional}
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
 

Preparation:

Saute onions and carrots in a splash of balsamic vinegar. Add about 1/4 cup water and 4 or so spoonfuls of vegetable stock {or 2 or 3 cubes I suppose}. Turn off heat. When peas are finished soaking, rinse well, add fresh water to bowl until the peas are covered. Place in pot with sauted onions and carrots. Bring to a rolling boil, add a few drops of liquid smoke, reduce to medium heat and let cook away for an hour or more. Add frozen peas. When cooked through I used a potato masher and finished mushing up the peas. Note: Goes great with fresh homemade bread!
