A slightly more refined version of split pea mash, incorporating fresh herbs and a touch of lemon for brightness. This version uses a mirepoix for a deeper flavor base.

Rinse the Dried Split Peas thoroughly under cold water.
In a large pot, combine the rinsed Dried Split Peas and Vegetable Broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the peas are very tender.
While the peas are simmering, heat the Olive Oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add the diced Yellow Onion, Carrot, and Celery (Mirepoix) and cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced Garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Drain most of the broth from the cooked Split Peas, leaving about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the cooked Mirepoix to the peas.
Season with Salt, Black Pepper, and Dried Thyme. Mash with a potato masher or fork to desired consistency. Add more cooking liquid if needed to reach desired consistency.
Stir in the Lemon Juice, Fresh Parsley, and Fresh Chives. Serve hot.
