Split Peas - The inner part of the pea which is
split in half, and which is available in green and yellow varieties. Split peas
cook quickly and become very soft, so are mostly used for soups.
Stew: Long, slow cooking in a small amount of
liquid to produce a dish like a very thick soup. Tough meats are softened by
stewing, and vegetables melt down to become deliciously tender.
