Instructions

Combine the rinsed split peas and 3 cups water in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, for 25–30 minutes, until the peas are completely soft and beginning to break down. Skim off any foam that rises in the first few minutes.

While the peas cook, heat the vegetable oil in a separate large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 10–12 minutes.
