Easy Split Pea and Barley Stew image

This is a very easy and wholesome recipe that I adapted from hillbillyhousewife.com. It is extremely economical and filling, as well as being healthy. I serve this with a small green side salad and a loaf of fresh or garlic bread.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, sliced
4 carrots, chopped
1 cup split peas
1/2 cup pearl barley
1 (400 g) can tomatoes
1/2 cup tomato puree or 1/2 cup ketchup
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Saute the onion in the oil until fragrant.
  • Add the celery and carrot. Continue to saute until the whole lot is beginning to soften and smell aromatic.
  • Tip in the barley and split peas. Add 8 cups of water, reduce heat, and allow to simmer for about 40 minutes or until the legumes and grains are beginning to become tender.
  • Add the tomatoes and puree. Stir and allow to simmer for another 20-30 minutes to allow flavours to meld. If it looks as if it is drying out, add a cup of water.
  • Season to taste before serving.
