What to do with 5 lbs of split peas?

Yep. I just bought a deal on Amazon for 5 lbs each of garbanzo beans and green split peas. The garbanzos are easy to use, but the split peas? That's hard! what can I do with them, except for making soup for 100 people?

DanM,

 

The only way I've ever made them was with carrots, celery and jalepeno in soup. Not photogenic, but mmm! Especially with my cornbread in winter or skillet corn cakes in summer.

 

If I was faced with using up a lot in a short time without becoming boring, I'd consider cooking them up drier and spiced in empanadas or samosas.

Combine with rice in a pilaf.

It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

Call me crazy. Split pea ice cream.

 

You can find red bean ice cream recipes, just substitute red bean with split peas.

 

It's a popular flavor, red bean ice cream in some parts of thew world. I get them in Asian stores.
