NOTES : One taste of this simple, rustic spread - a popular 'meze'

or appetizer throughout Greece - and you are transported

to a little seaside taverna. The base of the spread is

yellow split peas, a healthful legume that requires no

presoaking and cooks in less than 45 minutes. Enjoy this

appetizer as the Greeks do, with a generous drizzle of

your favorite olive oil.
