4 T. Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
1 12 oz. Can SPAM, diced into ½ inch squares
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
2 C. Mahatma Short Grained Valencia Rice
8 C. Chicken Stock, warmed
½ tsp. Salt
½ tsp. Fresh Cracked Pepper
1 ½ C. Frozen Green Peas
Parmesan Cheese, grated

Add two T. olive oil into a skillet over medium high heat. Add SPAM, cook for a minute or two, until browned, stir well, and cook for another few minutes; remove from pan. Next, add the remaining oil followed by the garlic; sauté 1 minute. Mix in the rice, and using a wooden spoon, mix the rice and coat the grains in oil, 2 minutes. Begin adding 1 C. stock at a time, allowing the mixture to simmer until more broth is needed; keep stirring. Continue in this manner until the rice is al dente and creamy, approximately 25 – 30 minutes. Note: Not all of the broth may be used. When the mixture is creamy and the rice is cooked, fold in the peas and cooked Spam until heated through. Remove from heat, garnish with cheese, and serve.
