Spam fingers are as good as they sound
Better late than never, I present to you the recipe for my Spam Fingers with Aioli that I served at the Crispy potluck last week.
First, the aioli. In a mixer, combine 2 egg yolks, 4 crushed garlic cloves (I like to use a microplane to disintegrate them), and 1/8 cup lemon juice. Get the mixer going nice and fast and slowly stream in 2 cups of mild olive oil. If it gets too thick, add a bit more lemon juice. Season with salt to taste.
For the Spam Fingers, heat the oven to 375. Slice a can of Spam into finger-like pieces. Beat one egg and 2 tablespoons of milk in a bowl. Coat each Spam finger with flour, then dip in the milk mixture and roll in panko. Place the fingers in a alumium-lined baking sheet. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with the aioli over them and/or as a side dipping sauce.
This Week in Bacon
The weekly feature returns with Spam with Bacon. From the product description, which was clearly written by someone who ties happiness to canned pork:
Ever wonder what would happen if something great got even better? Well, quit it. Since we’ve combined Spam Classic and bacon you’ve been thinking too much. Stop staring off into space like that and be happy. Now that Spam is flavored with bacon, happiness is everywhere, but mostly in the frying pan.
Pick yours up here. More varieties here. If this also makes you so very, very happy, map your way to the Spam Museum.
