Welcome again to "Tinfoil Chef " where I'd like to feature healthy recipes for square meals on meager pockets. This was a recipe of my late ex-Mother-in-law who frequently made these Greek inspired tasty croquettes since the depression to serve a very large family.
My first reaction, as with all canned meat products was to run for the hills. But after politely attending supper one evening I was very amazed at the light yet robust flavor packed into these incredible delicacies. Great served warm with a side of Lipton noodles or over a green veggie. Just as great cold, as in next day leftovers topped with a slice of cheese and a spread of mayo.
- 1 can of Spam (spiced ham) - 2 - 12 oz cans of whole tomatoes. - 2 sleeves of crushed saltine crackers. - 1 egg
In a large bowl flake spiced ham (Spam) with a fork. When done add in 1 egg, 2 cans of whole tomatoes with juice and crush two sleeves of saltine crackers. With clean hands dig in and mush everything together, squeezing the tomatoes and incorporating everything into a well blended mixture.
Preheat a non-stick skillet with a tad of oil on medium heat and drop the mixture by the heaping spoonful, doing about 3-4 at a time. Let brown on one side for about 4 minutes, then flip to brown the other side for another 4 minutes. Serves: 8-10
Total Cost: $3.47 approximately .43 cents per person. Prep Time: 20 minutes
