Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 grams Spam (original or low-sodium)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 4 spears Pickles (dill or sweet, as preferred)
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Dice the Spam into small cubes, approximately 1/4 inch in size. Set aside.
Finely dice the red bell pepper, pickles, and red onion. Try to keep the sizes consistent for a uniform texture.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced Spam to the skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Spam is golden and crispy on the edges.
Add the diced red bell pepper and red onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
Stir in the pickles, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, mustard seeds, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the relish cool to room temperature.
Serve the Spam relish immediately as a topping, or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days for later use.
