Ingredients :

• 200 g yellow split peas
• 2 to 3 cups of water (for cooking peas, adjust to desired consistency)
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 to 3 cloves of black garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra to adjust)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon black garlic BBQ spice
• A splash of lemon juice or vinegar (to adjust the acidity)

Instructions :

1. Rinse the yellow split peas under cold water to remove any residue.
2. Place the peas in a large saucepan with the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover , and simmer for about 25 minutes or until the peas are tender and the water is absorbed.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sweat until translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
4. Drain the peas if necessary and place them in a food processor with the cooked onion, whole black garlic cloves, and black garlic BBQ spice. Blend until smooth.
5. Adjust the salt, pepper, and acidity with a little lemon juice or vinegar to taste.

Final adjustments:

• Smoothness : For a smoother dip, add a little extra water or olive oil, a tablespoon at a time, until you achieve the desired texture. Mix well after each addition.
• Richness : Stir in a little extra olive oil if desired to enrich the texture.
• Flavor Balancing : After adjustments, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary to ensure perfect flavor balance.
