Loco Moco

Loco Moco..what the heck is THAT? you may ask. It is a Hawaiian specialty that I first tried a few years ago when I was visiting family in the islands. A simple dish the combination of flavors is wonderful. Truly Island Comfort Food.  Last night I served a simple salad with Garlic Expressions dressing with this.

Loco Moco:
Serves 4

1 cup uncooked white rice
4 hamburger patties
2 cups beef/brown gravy
4 eggs
freshly ground pepper

Cook rice in rice steamer or in a pot on the stove. While rice is cooking heat prepared gravy ( I usually use two packets of gravy mix for this instead of the bottled kind)over low heat. Grill or pan fry hamburger patties to desired doneness. When rice is cooked and burgers are ready, cook eggs sunny side up.
On a large dinner plate place 1/2 cup cooked rice, top with one burger patty, pour gravy over top of rice and burger, top with sunny side egg. Grind a little pepper over the whole thing and serve.
Pretty? No. Delicious? Yep!
