A Canadian favorite with a twist—Canadian Split Pea Soup, Italian Style. If pancetta is too expensive, by all means, try other cured hams, or even boiled ham. I have used a new product from my deli called Italian Hot Ham, and the heat is absolutely perfect.
If you are wondering if there is a difference between Canadian split peas and green split peas… No, there is not. Other than the color, they are equally interchangeable in any recipe, including this one.
