I Tried Yellow Split Pea Flatbread

While looking around for different types of bread, i found several posts for making lentil bread and i though i would give it a try.  However, when i looked in the cupboard all i had was yellow split peas.  Nonetheless, i thought i would give it a try to see what it was like.  This has 2 basic ingredients: yellow split peas and water.  The salt is optional and you could even add some sugar if you want. 

Blended yellow split peas


Serves 4

Ingredients 

  • Yellow split peas x 0.5 cups
  • Water x 300ml
  • Salt x a pinch (optional)

Method

  1. Soak the split peas in the water for 4 hrs or better still overnight.
  2. Without draining, add the split peas and the water into a blender and blend until a creamy paste forms. This should take about 1 -2 minutes on high speed.
  3. Poor a thin layer into a hot frying pan.  Use the back of a tablespoon to shape it into a circle if needed. 
  4. Use the flipper to loosen from the pan and flip after about 45 seconds and heat for another 45 seconds.
  5. Take out of the pan and allow to cool on a plate.

Results

It was not that much like bread, but was OK.  Although it is not the best bread, it was very filling.  One of the breads was a bit fatter than the others and seemed a bit more like an omelet than bread, which gave me the idea to use it to make a vegan omelet next time with some additional ingredients.

Written by  McDonald, T.    |  Updated 24th of March 2024 Yorkshire puddings are a tasty part of Sunday dinner in the UK not to mention Christmas and Easter.  With this in mind, a vegan alternative is required to satisfy the patriots dinner plate.  I looked for a long time and tried many different recipes, but in the end I had to alter the best basic vegan recipe to make it perfect.

Viking Skause

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 12th of December 2022 Abstract  Skause is a Viking stew, which contained, boiled meat, vegetables and Mead , an alcoholic drink made from fermented honey and included spices (What Viking Diets Were Really Like, 2021).  I wanted to make something vegan that a meat eater would think of trying.  Being as meat eaters, especially men, see themselves as being a little on the wild side, I needed something that would appeal to the old world fun vibe.  So, when I was looking through old recipes for inspiration, the Viking food immediately jumped out at me.  Bearing in mind I need to appeal to both vegans and especially non-vegans, the mock meat had to be good.  Unfortunately, the mock meat I intended to use, Naked strips, was not available, so I had to improvise.  This resulted in the idea to add three different types of mock meat to the dish.  I struggled to find suitable mock meats at such short notice. ...

The Price of Ignorance

By T. McDonald . | Date 1st of November 2019 | Updated on 15th April 2021 Ever woke up and thought, ‘Is this it?’ Have you ever been plagued with the idea that something is wrong with the world or your life; something you can’t quite put your finger on? If you have seen the matrix, you may be aware of the famous quote about having a splinter in the mind. Something in life is wrong and that thing is the price of ignorance. Something in life is wrong.  The fictional character Morpheus from the movie The Matrix (1999) explains: ‘ …there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?  To answer that question, we must first look at what we are. We are animals. Animals need to find resources by which to sustain themselves and humans are no different. Notably, many people also have pets ranging from dogs and...
