Favosalata

Preparation

1. Cook the split peas and whole (peeled) garlic in the cold water, white wine and salt. This will take at least 30 minutes and could take up to 1 hour. The peas should swell up and go soft but you don't want to go as far as pea-soup
2. When the peas are done, strain off any excess liquid with a cheesecloth lined sieve
3. Blend the peas (and garlic) in a food processor
4. Add the lemon juice, white wine vinegar, ½ the red onion and then drizzle in the olive oil
5. Stop blending when the mixture has the consistency of well mashed potatoes
6. Place on a serving dish, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice and garnish with thin slices from the remaining half of the onion
