Need Help From The Chefs On The Board

I have some yellow split peas I need to use up. I have tried making soup and it was blah. I have mixed them with rice and carmelized onions and and peppers and it was a little better but I was still not loving the yellow split peas texture like I thoguht I would (I like lentils and I like green split peas but these are different). I need recipe suggestions. There are are few constraints that are important.

Besides gluten free recipes also must be:

Pork free--this is hard because so many split pea soup recipes use ham hocks or bacon.

Shellfish free--no shrimp, crabs, mullousks, scallops, lobster, etc.

Dairy free--this one is somewhat flexible. If there is a small amount of milk I can use coconut or almond milk, but if the main flavoring and texture of the recipe depends on milk and cheese please don't suggest it. Vegan recipes are welcome but it need not be vegan--I eat chicken, turkey, beef, eggs, lamb and prety much every other meat except for pork and shellfish.

Soy free--okay it doesn't really have to be obviously "soy free". I have coconut aminos I can use in place of soy sauce and olive oil to use instead of vegetable oil, but edamame or soy based dairy subs are out of the question.

No mushrooms--most of the time I can just leave them out but sometimes they are t he main flavoring in a stock or strifry and the recipe doesn't work as well without them.

Okay GO! :)

cook 'em up with water or stock. I like adding diced red and green peppers

Add green onions, salt, pepper, smoked turkey (or salmon or whatever smoky flavored meat you like). Can eat with a fork or serve over rice.

I'm not a chef but I love pea soup! Don't give up on it...here's one to try.

I would rinse and soak the peas first. And saute the onions, spices before starting the soup, but I tend to be a split pea soup perfectionist.

This is similar to what I tried and it didn't work for me but I was doing it mainly vegetarian (or only with chicken broth no meat). I think I will try it again and use smoked meat. Smoked salmon sounds wonderful actually. Thanks for the suggestion!

I also like cooking with lots of carrot, garlic, thyme, sage, and bay. Puree, and use as soup or yummy glop topped iwth non-pork sausage, or add an egg/breadcumbs to make "burgers" or falafel. You could also make lentil soup with 20% split peas or 7-bean soup or something where they are dilute.

I throw peas into random soups just for a different texture/flavor.

Thanks! That soup recipe looks like it has a lot more flavor and structure (with the potatoes) than the one I tried. I think being a split pea soup perfectionist qualifies you as a chef, at least in my world it does. ;)

Falafel sounds divine! But I'm afraid to attempt it without a detailed recipe. Throwing a little of it into other soups and stews might just be my next strategy if I don't find somehting I like.

Well, Monday and Tuesday are busy, but perhaps I shall officially measure on Wed. Do you have a scale, or volumne measurements only?

I have do a scale I use for measuring flours. DO you measure by weight when making falafels? I did not know that. I've never attepted them. That's why I wouldn't try them first with out a recipe. But I do make a lot of other things without recipes or take recieps I find and alter them slightly to make them fit my restrictions and preferences.

One thing I really like to do is coarsely grind some in a spice grinder and use as a crunchy coating on many things. Love the texture!

Interesting ideas! Thanks! I don't have a spice grinder but I do have a mortar and pestal--would that work to crush it fine enough? Do you mean like for coating fried chicken or fried fish or something?

The more uncommon, unique and interesting the better (to me). I love playing around with things, grinding them up, making rubs and so on. As an aside, dried mushrooms (i.e. porcini) ground up in a spice grinder make an excellent addition to many dishes, not to mention as rubs.

Anyway, you could probably get a spice (or coffee) grinder for $10-$15 and I believe it is well worth it. I buy whole spices, toast them and grind them myself. Much fresher and delicious! I also have three mortar and pestles which I love dearly and use often. However, grinding peas in one would be a tedious task (haven't tried, though). When they are ground coarsely they are great on fish, chicken, shrimp, scallops, even oven-roasted cheese (although if I recall correctly that would not be an option for you). Same thing with lentils - grinding them and using them when searing adds good flavour and fibre and desirable crunch.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
