1 onion
1 carrot
1 clove garlic
1 stick of celery
2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon ground mace
500g yellow split peas
1.25-1.5 litres chicken or veg stock
2 bay leaves
Approx.8 frankfurters
Method
Peel the onion, carrot and garlic and cut the onion and carrot into rough chunks. Put them all, along with the roughly cut up stick of celery into the bowl of a food processor. Blitz till all are finely chopped.
Add oil into a heavy-based wide saucepan and put on medium heat.
When warm, add the chopped vegetables from the processor and cook for 5-10 minutes, until soft but not coloured.
Add the ground mace give the mixture a good stir and then add the split peas and stir again till mixed with the cooked-down vegetables. Pour over 1.25 litres stock and add the bay leaves, then bring to the boil. Cover, turn down the heat and cook for about an hour until everything is tender, adding more stock as needed. Taste for seasoning.
Add the frankfurters as you wish. I like to add them in little coins.
