My "Haole" Paniolo Breakfast

When I lived in Hawaii, one of my favorite breakfast dishes was at McDonalds....I know, Mc Donalds...lol....but it was delicious! It was called the "Paniolo Breakfast"....Portuguese sausage, eggs and rice....you could also get Spam with it if you wanted, which I never did...because I'm not really sure how I feel about Spam...lol....So, when I moved back, I began to make my "Haole" version...(for those of you who don't know, haole is a word used to describe "non-Hawaiians")..... with Turkey Sausage instead of Portuguese sausage...My family loves it and every time I serve it to friends, they are always pleasantly surprised! It's quick and easy! We make it for dinner a lot, also because the kids LOVE it!

My "Haole" Paniolo Breakfast

8 eggs, beaten
4 cups cooked rice (2 cups dry rice/4 cups water)
1 Link gluten free turkey sausage
Tamari to taste.....we have also used Bragg's Liquid Amino Acids, but prefer the Tamari.....I used to use soy sauce, but because soy sauce is not gluten free, I had to change it up.




Put 2 cups of rice into the rice cooker with 4 cups water. Or cook rice in a saucepan as directed.

Cut turkey sausage into small pieces and saute until warm.
 Add beaten eggs and cook like you would cook scrambled eggs.

When egg and sausage mixture is completely cooked, add rice into the saucepan.  Mix all ingredients and add tamari to taste.
