    Preparation Steps

    1

    Soak the yellow split peas in cold water for at least 2-3 hours, then drain and rinse.

    2

    Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic until softened and fragrant.

    3

    Add the soaked yellow split peas and pour in the water. Season with salt, pepper, and bay leaves.

    4

    Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the yellow split peas are tender and easily mashed.

    5

    Make a light roux: In a separate skillet, heat the flour in oil until lightly golden. Stir in the Hungarian sweet paprika, then whisk the roux into the stew.

    6

    Let it simmer for a few more minutes to thicken. Stir in the sour cream at the end, and add a splash of vinegar, if desired, to taste.

    7

    Serve the yellow pea stew with smoked meat, sausage, or a fried egg.
