This dish was inspired by the many varieties of Lentil side dishes that are readily accessible these days. Lentils have become an increasingly popular ingredient in recent years. They have a very similar consistency to Split Peas and are both part of the legume family. Split Peas are synonymous with Soups; however, we\u2019ve created a heartier alternative for this wonderful vegetable. Pairing Split Peas with Bacon and Mushrooms in a hearty side dish turned out to be one of the tastiest dishes we\u2019ve enjoyed in a long time. So, we\u2019re excited to share with you all how to make this wonderful dish

Who says you must put Split Peas in a Soup?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Almost all the recipes you can find online including Split Peas involve some kind of Soup. Sure, they\u2019re great in that type of cuisine, but they are so much more versatile than simply having them swimming in some liquid! They are sponges for flavor, so pairing them with rich flavors like Bacon and Mushroom such as in this dish allows them to take on a beautiful, deep flavor

The consistency of Split Peas is very similar to Lentils. When cooked properly, they are still firm to the bite, but break up into a beautiful, almost creamy like texture when eaten. They fall somewhere between Rice and Lentils on the consistency scale, making them perfect for more hearty-style dishes such as this one
