Dressedupspam Recipes

Steps:

• In a saute pan, heat oil and saute onions until caramelized, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Toast bread, either on the grill top or toaster.
• In a pan with butter, cook SPAM until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
• Spread your favorite sandwich spread (mustard or mayo) on your toast; I prefer a nice spicy brown mustard. Add SPAM, grilled onions and pickle slices. Add lettuce and tomato or pickled jalapenos if it floats your boat. Sometimes you can switch it up and use RAW ONION, instead of grilled. Go crazy! It's your SPAM; do what you want.
• Serve with American fries and a cold PBR. YES! AMERICA!

Steps:

• SALAD.
• In salad bowl, tear lettuce and add green or red onion and seasonings (for some reason, it seems to work better with the onion mixed in with salad greens, not as one of the "rings"). Toss and smooth greens so top is uniformly level.
• FORMAL ATTIRE.
• Proceed to "dress up" the salad by making a 1" ring (1-1/2" for wider bowls) of grated carrot around edge of bowl thick enough to cover the greens.
• Then make rings inside this of corn, then green pepper, then beets or tomatoes then mushroom slices piled in the center circle. If using beets and tomatoes both, make it tomatoes then a ring of mushrooms then a mound of shredded beets in center.
• Make sure rings are thick enough to cover all the "naked" greens. You can use any vegetables of your choice to make the rings, such as radishes, olives or water chestnuts, but I prefer the varying colors and blend of flavors of the above.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to place it on buffet or dinner table.
• SECRET DRESSING.
• Make Secret Dressing by placing cut pieces of ginger root and vinegar in a blender and blend until smooth. Press through a mesh strainer over a bowl, squeezing out pulp to get more liquid into bowl. Pour liquid back into rinsed-out blender.
• Add honey, garlic and soy sauce. Blend well. Slowly add oil while blender is on low to mix.
• Pour into a jar with cover, shake and refrigerate. When ready to serve salad, shake jar and pour into a cruet for guests to pour their own.
• PRESENTATION.
• Put salad on buffet or dinner table and after everyone oohs and aahs, toss well and serve with secret dressing in a cruet for them to pour on desired amount.

Steps:

• Slice SPAM into 6 even pieces, set aside.
• Stir together mustard, 2 Tablespoons of pineapple juice, cloves and black pepper in a small bowl.
• In a shallow plate mix together crushed corn flakes and brown sugar.
• Coat slices of SPAM with mustard mixture and dip in corn flakes, coat both sides well, place in a shallow baking pan, that has been lightly oiled (or use cooking spray).
• Top each piece of SPAM with a pineapple slice, pour the rest of the pineapple juice in the bottom of baking pan.
• Bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes- till pineapple and corn flakes begin to brown.
