Another celebrity recipe. I do not know if you should chop up the tomatoes or not, but this sounds great. This would be vegan if you don't use the butter.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb split peas
1/4 lb orange lentils
1 1/2 large onions, quartered
4 stalks celery, including leaves, rinsed & chopped
2 tomatoes, peeled
2 leeks, white part only, cut into 1-inch chunks
5 cups water (about)
1/4 lb butter or 1/4 lb soy margarine
crushed black peppercorns
sea salt
Directions:
1. Place split peas, lentils, onions, celery, tomatoes and leeks in large pot and cover with water.
2. Bring to boil, lower heat and simmer about 1-1/2 hours, until split peas and lentils are soft.
3. Add butter and stir until melted.
4. Add peppercorns and sea salt to taste.
