Rinse the yellow split peas and put them in a pot with 4 cups of water.
Cook the peas for 30 minutes, until tender.
In a separate pan, saute the onion in oil for 5 minutes, then add the tomatoes.
Loosen the peanut butter with 1 cup of hot water.
Combine the peas, tomato mixture, peanut sauce, and salt.
Add the collard greens and thicken for 10 minutes.
Rest the pot for 5 minutes so the sauce texture settles.
💡 Tip: Do not drop peanut butter straight into the pot; loosening it with hot water prevents lumps.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve dek ngor hot with posho, rice, or boiled sweet potatoes.
