Bought a canned of spam meat and some rocket or arugula salad. Today’s temperature is high at 39 degrees C. I don’t feel like spending time in the kitchen with the heat so hot. I just love pane di casa. My sister bought 2 for half price and gave me one.

Google: “Spam is a canned, precooked luncheon meat made from ground pork and ham, along with flavourings and preservatives. Spam is high in sodium, fat and calories. It also provides a little protein and several micronutrients, such as zinc, potassium, iron and copper. Compared to other protein sources, Spam is high in fat and calories but low in protein. Frequently eating Spam without adjusting your diet and calorie intake could cause weight gain.” Eat in moderation.

Google: “Rocket (Arugula) is a leafy green veggie with a spicy kick. Offering a pepper-like flavour, rocket leaves are high in nutrients including beta-carotene, vitamin C, folate, and magnesium, all of which are key to helping the body’s organ systems function properly. Rocket is very low in carbohydrates, offering less than 1 gram per serving. Rocket is virtually fat-free. Rocket is also very low in protein. Because of its high vitamin K content, rocket improves bone health through improved calcium absorption and contributes to the prevention of osteoporosis.”

Google: “Pane di casa is a traditional Italian bread that translates to “bread of the house”. It’s made with flour, water, salt, and yeast, and has a crispy crust and fluffy interior. It’s also ideal for sandwiches, dipping into olive oil, or savouring on its own.” My dinner is healthy, comforting and delicious. Let’s make dinner!!!

Ingredients

1 canned spam meat
3 slices of pane di casa
rocket or arugula
butter or margarine
chili sauce or tomato sauce

Method

Cut the Spam lengthwise into 8 equal slices. Slice them as thick or thinly as you would like, then simply place them in to the frying pan. In a large saucepan add a tiny drop of oil on medium heat. Then swirl the oil around the pan.

Cook the spam meat slices 3-5 minutes or until caramelised, flipping halfway through. Meantime buttered pane di casa. Once spam meat done heated up and caramelised, transfer to a lined paper towel plate. Assemble place 3 slices of pane di casa on the plate.

Assemble: place a sliced of spam meat on each pane di casa. Squirt some chili sauce or tomato sauce over the top of spam meat. Followed by some rocket leaves on top. Serve immediate. Enjoy with a cup of tea!!
