Ingredients

    1/2 cup split peas (measured dry! rinse and drain)
    10 baby carrots, chopped

    1/4 cup green peppers
    1/2 of a roma tomato
    1/4 cup pesto

    2-4 T water

Directions

Combine split peas and 1 cup water, bring to a boil then simmer 25-30 minutes, with the lid tipped. When there are 15-20 minutes left add chopped baby carrots. Fish out the baby carrot pieces when there are about 5 minutes left, you will get some split peas too and this is fine. The split peas should be slightly mushy, but not soupy.

Meanwhile, in a blender combine peppers, tomatoes and pesto. Puree into a smooth consistency, add 1 to 2 T of water for smoother puree. (you can reserve 1-2 T of chopped pepper to add some more chunks to your dip)

Blend the baby carrot pieces and add to tomato-pepper puree. (Add 1-2 T of water to make it smoother)

When peas are cooked, combine puree and serve with pita chips.
