Vegan Khoresh Gheymeh (Persian Yellow Split Pea Stew)

This is a vegan take on Khoresh Gheymeh, a Persian stew traditionally made with lamb or beef, yellow split peas, onions, tomato paste, turmeric, cinnamon, fried potatoes and dried limes. It’s served over basmati rice and, for this veganized version, additional yellow split peas are the protein-rich stand-in for the meat.
