Onions

Using a spatula, scrape onions off skillet at the end of 3 minutes, add garlic and spices, reduce heat to low, and cook 5 more minutes until onions are very soft. Set aside.

Split peas

Garbanzo beans

1. Simply heat thoroughly.
2. Prepare your plate by placing a layer of rice on the bottom of your dish. Next, add a ladle of split peas. Add cooked onion around the perimeter of the peas and top with garbanzo beans. Squeeze a slice of lemon on top just before eating.
