2. In a large stock pot, cook the onions on medium/medium-high heat for several minutes, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften and turn translucent. (if needed add a splash of hot water to prevent burning).

3. Add the garlic and turmeric, cook for a further 15 minutes.

4. Add the split peas and simmer stirring occasionally (not too often so that it doesn’t get too mushy) for another 15 minutes. (If you’d like to serve it as a soup you can add hot water while it simmers).
