Spam is arguably one the most recognised products on the planet. With it's unique shaped can and iconic yellow font containing a slab of pink wobbly porky stuff. Love it or hate it, it's a store cupboard staple for many, and still relatively cheap. So following on from the tinned potatoes video, I am going to see if I can turn this lump of porcine goodness into something exciting!
To make my spam kebabs/wraps you will need:
Makes 3 as a tortilla wrap
2 x 200g cans of spam
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp of ground coriander
1/2 tsp of ground cumin
1 tsp of smoked paprika
2 garlic cloves
A little oil to bind
You can add whatever salad/veg to your wraps but this is what I had
3 tortilla wraps
1 large diced tomato
Sliced cucumber (3 good slices per wrap)
1 small red onion sliced
Shredded iceberg lettuce
Pickled Jalepenos
Sour cream
Spam, a product from world war 2 designed to feed hungry U.S soldiers, has now become an iconic and much loved store cupboard staple across the world. It's cheap, store cupboard stable and it tastes so good! So I thought I would continue from my last spam video where I made kebab meat, and create a simple delicious little spam fried rice.
The great thing about this too is you can play around with the ingredients. If you want some different veggies in there, go ahead! I will also give you a couple of tips to get a better fried rice that's not mushy, and will keep Uncle Roger off your back!
To make my spam fried rice you will need:
Feeds 2-3 people
200g can of spam
450g of cold leftover basmati rice
2 spring onions
2 cloves of garlic
2 eggs
70g of frozen peas
70g of sweetcorn

Spam is one of my now favourite store cupboard ingredients. A once reviled canned pork product that I only used for fishing, has become a kitchen staple for me. So I am going back into the store cupboard again this week, and making a simple delicious spam hash. The beauty of this spam hash, is you can switch it up however you like. Swap out the spices? Add different veggies? The choice is yours.
To make my spam hash you will need:
Feeds 2 hungry adults
1x340g can of spam
500g of cooked new potatoes
1 red bell pepper
1 medium red onion
About 70g of canned sweetcorn
1 tsp of garlic granules (or 1 large fresh minced)
2 tsp of paprika smoked or unsmoked
1 tsp of chilli flakes
Salt & pepper to taste
A little oil if needed
Serve with a runny fried egg
