LOCO MOCO

ISLAND-STYLE LOCO MOCO with commentary by Donna Manz
Okay, so it’s not exactly approved by the American Heart Association..... nor will you find it on Weight Watcher’s diet.... but for that distinctive taste of the islands, this is right up there with Kalua pig and long rice! This is, in fact, a staple of my diet when in the La`ie area. Enjoy but remember to eat fat-free the following day. And take a long, brisk walk. Donna Manz
Island-Style Loco Moco Serves One One grilled hamburger patty Two scoops steamed rice One scoop homemade macaroni salad (mix some potato cubes to your usual mac salad recipe, substituting low-fat mayo, if desired) <Auntie Maebelle has a sensational Mac Salad Recipe> One fried egg (save calories and fat by poaching egg) ½ cup prepared brown gravy (fat-free gravy tastes rich and delicious!) In a shallow soup bowl or deep dinner plate * (see note below), arrange two scoops of hot steamed rice. Over the steamed rice, place a hot grilled hamburger patty. Center fried or poached egg on hamburger and ladle as much VERY hot brown gravy over portion as your taste dictates. Spoon macaroni salad to one side. Break up egg and hamburger, mixing into rice while eating. Serve with plenty of paper napkins. *For an authentic presentation, serve in Styrofoam carry-out container, available in grocery stores (paper products) and salad bars.
