Spamprese Sammich Recipes

SUMAC-SPICED SHRIMP SCAMPI PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water then drain.
• While the pasta is cooking, combine the panko and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Season with salt and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the toasted breadcrumbs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil and set aside. Wipe out the pot.
• Combine 2 tablespoons of the remaining olive oil with 2 tablespoons of the butter in the same pot and heat over medium heat until the butter is melted. Season the shrimp on one side with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the sumac and some salt and black pepper. Add the shrimp to the pot in a single layer, seasoned side-down, and cook until the bottoms are pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Season the tops with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the sumac and some salt and black pepper. Flip the shrimp and cook until the bottoms are pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pot, remove the tails, cut the shrimp in half crosswise and set aside on a plate. Do not wipe out the pot.
• Add the wine to the same pot and cook over medium heat, scraping up the browned bits, until the wine is reduced by half, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil; cook over medium-low heat until the butter is melted. Add the garlic, crushed red pepper, lemon zest and remaining 1 tablespoon sumac. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the garlic is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice, stir to combine, then remove from the heat.
• Add the linguine to the sauce in the pot and toss. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water, as needed, and toss until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
• Add the shrimp and 3/4 cup of the parsley and toss to combine.
• Serve the pasta in wide bowls, holding the linguine with tongs and rotating each bowl with the other hand to form a pasta nest. Top with the toasted breadcrumbs and remaining parsley. Enjoy!

CAPRESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Spread mayonnaise on 1 side of each slice of toast. Top half the toast slices with tomatoes, salt and pepper. Add onion, mozzarella and basil; top with remaining bread slices.

CAPRESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Salt the tomatoes and layer on the bottom piece of bread with the mozzarella and basil. Drizzle with Basil Oil. Top with the remaining piece of bread. Slice into portions.
• Add the basil to boiling water for 45 seconds to 1 minute. Remove to a bowl of ice water to stop it from further cooking. Dry and add to a blender. Add the olive oil, and blend until smooth. Strain through cheesecloth into a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the lemon juice right before serving.

SPAM SANDWICH

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!

FANCY SAMMICH

Steps:

• In a medium nonporous bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice and mix well. Place the pork in the bowl, turning to coat well on all sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours, allowing the pork to marinate.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place tenderloin in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20 to 30 minutes, or until internal pork temperature reaches 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Remove pork from oven. Drain the liquid from the baking dish and reserve for later as a gravy, if desired. Roll out the two puff pastry sheets and wrap each piece of tenderloin in the dough, sealing the edges to completely enclose the meat. Return this to the baking dish.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.

SPAMWICH SPREAD

Steps:

• 1. Mix all ingredients adding enough mayonnaise to moisten.
• 2. Spread on toasted rye or whole grain toast and broil until the sanwiches are slightly brown and bubbly.
• 3. Spread on hamburger buns and wrap in foil. Refrigerate until needed. Heat in a 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes.
• 4. Preheat a pie iron over the fire. Butter the outside of the bread and place buttered side down on the iron. Place desired amount of filling on one side of bread. Close iron and bake over a fire or BBQ until toasted and hot.
• 5. Spread filling on bread and add lettuce or tomato slices as desired.

SPAMWICH

Steps:

• On a griddle or frying pan, fry the cut sides of the buns until they are nice and crispy brown.
• Spread mustard on buns, put onion on the bottom bun.
• Fry the spam until done on one side.
• Then flip them over and arrange them in two sets of two slices with one side in each pair touching each other.
• Put two slices of cheese on each pair and leave it until the cheese melts.
• Put each pair of spam slices on one of the bottom buns, scatter pickle slices over the top of the spam, put the top slice of bun on the sandwich and plate it up.

JULIE'S SPAM SPREAD

Steps:

• Grate the spam. (I usually just use my pastry cutter).

• Add just enough mayonnaise to hold ingredients together.
• Use for sandwich spread or on a bed of lettuce or on crackers for an appetizer.
