My husband and I have been striving to eat better over the years and with the birth of our 2 girls, we wanted to make sure that they were not going to be one of their generation who will have a shorter lifespan than us.
So, back to the lunch meat. I did manage to find some Hormel All Natural Lunch Meat but at $4.99/7-8oz, it was just way too much to pay on a regular basis. So began my search online for a homemade lunch meat recipe. I found this one:
We used
Approx 2lbs chicken thigh meat
2 egg whites from our ducks +
A mix of sauces and spices in our kitchen:
Salt, black pepper, white pepper, ketchup, ketup manis (a dark sweet soy sauce found in Asian groceries), A1 sauce, honey, cumin, fennel and some onion powder.
Pulse everything in a food processor until lumpy.
Shape in a foiled and oiled loaf pan.
Bake at 350 F until done.
Chill and slice
The verdict: Promising but a little too strong in BBQ taste. Our texture was off as well. I think we pulsed the meat a little too long - it turned out more like a meat loaf. It was still good but we'll have to re-experiment with this!
Here's a picture of what's left of it after a chow-down. As you can see, it doesn't look too hot so more on this later!
