  Rise the split peas under cold running water. Put in pan and add the

  Drain the split peas, reserving a little of the cooking liquid, and

  until smooth. If the mixture seems too dry, add enough of the
  reserved liquid to form a smooth, thich puree. Add the oregano and

  chopped onion and extra oregano if desired. Drizzle over the
  remaining olive oil.
