Ingredients
- 200g pepperoni, sliced
- 200g spam, diced
- 150ml peri peri sauce
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (any color you fancy)
- 200g cheese (mozzarella or cheddar), grated
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Get that oven hot—no one likes a lukewarm meal!
- In a large frying pan over medium heat, toss in the diced spam. Fry it until it’s golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Don’t you dare burn it!
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir it like you mean it!
- Toss in the bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes. We want some crunch, not mush!
- Pour in the peri peri sauce and give it a good stir. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Taste it! Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if you need to. If it’s not spicy enough, add more sauce!
- In a baking dish, layer the pepperoni slices evenly on the bottom. Then, pour the spam mixture over the top.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese generously over everything. We want it gooey and delicious!
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Keep an eye on it—no one wants burnt cheese!
- Once out of the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if you’re feeling fancy.
Serve this fiery delight with some crusty bread or over rice, and watch everyone devour it like there’s no tomorrow. This dish is not just a meal; it’s an experience! Get in the kitchen, and show that food who’s boss! Enjoy!
