Steps:
- Yellow Split Pea Dip
- Wrap carrots, celery, white onion, herbs, and peppercorns into a bundle; tie with kitchen twine.
- Combine split peas with the water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and herb bundle in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cook until split peas are tender, about 45 minutes. Discard bundle. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Drain split peas; let cool slightly.
- Puree split peas, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup reserved cooking liquid in a food processor until smooth, adding more liquid as needed. To serve, drizzle spread with oil, top with red onion and capers, and season with pepper.
- Taramasalata
- Place roe in a bowl and cover with cold water; soak 10 minutes. Drain in a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth. Rinse; drain again. Gather cheesecloth around roe, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Meanwhile, cover potato in a saucepan with 2 inches cold water and add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and let cool.
- Puree roe, potato, and lemon juice in a food processor. With machine running, add oil and process until smooth. Season with pepper.
- CRUDITÉS
- The dips here are accompanied by spring produce, but nearly any vegetable can be used in a platter of crudités. Serve tender vegetables, such as celery, snap peas, and baby carrots, raw; broccoli, green beans,and cauliflower are better (and lose little nutritional value) when blanched for 2 to 3 minutes in boiling water and then shocked in an ice-water bath.
