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.

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
