Recipe Loco Moco

[The Late Night Gourmet]

This dish was created in Hawaii when a restaurant owner decided to throw together something for some hungry teenagers. I made some changes from the original, using farro instead of rice and garlic instead of onion in the gravy.

Ingredients

• 1 (12-ounce) can SPAM, cut into slices
• 2 tablespoons bacon grease, plus more for the eggs
• 2 cups chopped portobello mushrooms
• 1/2 cup garlic, shredded
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 4 cups cooked farro
• 4 eggs
• 3 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
• 3 tablespoons chopped green onion

Directions

1. Melt bacon grease in a pan on medium heat. Heat garlic, stirring frequently, until browned. Stir in mushrooms, and cook until some of the liquid boils off.

2. Add broth, minus a few tablespoons, and Worcestershire sauce to the pan. Heat until it is somewhat thickened.

3. In small bowl, mix cornstarch with remaining broth to make a smooth paste. Add to pan, whisking until combined and thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4. Cook farro according to manufacture instructions, using broth instead of water

5. Fry egg sunnyside up with bacon grease. Cook SPAM slices until browned.

6. Divide farro among 4 plates. Place SPAM slices on top of the farro. Top with gravy and 1 egg.

5. Garnish with parsley and green onion.

Farro is a nice switch in this recipe. I reckon its 'earthiness' compliments that Spam very well. And almost anything is better with with an egg on top.

The Late Night Gourmet DUDE!!! You're killin me!!!
How utterly delicious does that look and reading the recipe, my mouth is watering.
I like the idea for swaping the farro for the rice.
