Split Pea and Ham Sandwiches

For the spread:
Combine split peas, water, bouillon, chopped onion, garlic, and black pepper in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium, cover and simmer about 30 minutes, or until all water has been absorbed and peas are softened. Stir in green peas and allow to sit to defrost peas.

Transfer mixture along with lemon juice into a food processor and blend until smooth.

For the sandwiches:
Toast English muffins, then layer each with 1 tablespoon mustard, 1/4 cup sprouts, 2 ounces ham, and 3 tablespoons split pea spread. Enjoy!

Note:spread keeps very well in an airtight container in the refrigerator and can also be served as a dip!
