SPAM Orzo Recipe<\/h3>

SPAM Orzo Recipe<\/strong> - I'm always looking to develop and try new recipes so this morning I started thinking about ways to use SPAM. I recently restocked my pantry and found I need new ways to use cans of SPAM I bought on sale. Like many people, and the State of Hawaii as a whole, I really enjoy the taste of SPAM.There are almost 20 varieties of SPAM and I can honestly say that I've only enjoyed the Classic. Well over seven billion, that's billion with a \"B\", cans of SPAM have been sold to date. SPAM was first introduced by Hormel Foods Corporation in 1937.<\/p>\n

According to its label, SPAM'S basic ingredients are pork shoulder meat, with ham meat added, salt, water, modified potato starch as a binder, sugar, and sodium nitrite as a preservative. Natural gelatin forms during cooking in its tins on the production line.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hawaii consumes more\u00a0SPAM than any state in our union -- in total, 7 million cans a year. According to the\u00a0SPAM website, the island's love affair with\u00a0SPAM began in World War II, when GIs were served the salty luncheon meat because it didn't require refrigeration and had a long shelf life.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Over the years I've made what I call 'Red Rice' which uses leftover ham in a tomato based sauce over white rice ... therefore turning it into red rice. If you do a search for 'Red Rice' you'll find millions of hits but I don't know where I first found a recipe for my version of 'Red Rice'. Not having any leftover ham around I decided to substitute SPAM. Then, I noticed that I've ran out of white rice. Upon further exploration of my cupboards I discovered that I had some Orzo left from a previous recipe. So I figured: ... why not throw together my 'Red Rice' recipe but use SPAM and Orzo.<\/p>\n

Orzo, which means \"barley\" in Italian, is used most traditionally in soups, but this very versatile, rice-shaped pasta has been widely adapted by chefs in Italy and America for both main courses as well as side dishes.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/span>:\u00a0 \u00bd pound orzo > 1 can Classic SPAM diced > 1 cup chopped celery > 1 cup chopped red onions > 4 oz canned mushrooms > handful of sliced black olives > chopped green onions > 14 oz tomato sauce > 14 oz chopped stewed tomatoes > 1 tsp crushed garlic > 1 tsp seasoned salt > \u00bd tsp black pepper > 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Directions<\/span>:\u00a0 Saut\u00e9 celery & onions in olive oil<\/a> till translucent > mix all ingredients except orzo in a large skillet > bring to boil and lower to a medium simmer > simmer SPAM and ingredients for 30 minutes > boil orzo according to directions > Drain orzo and add to sauce > Serve with a side of green salad and toasted roasted garlic bread.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
