Stop right there, I gotta know right now ... before we go any further ... Meatloaf. Sorry, I'm dating myself with the '70s Meatloaf reference ... but this one is killer. Great texture, non-greasy, loads of veggies added - but lots of meaty flavours. Thanks so much J for the best meatloaf recipe, ever!
1 medium onion, or a leek (both green and white parts), or shallots
1 carrot
1 parsnip
1 medium beet
4 inches celery heart
3 cloves garlic, minced
olive oil
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Heinz chili sauce
Basil, oregano, handful Italian parsley,
4 hot Italian sausages, casings removed
700 g extra lean ground beef
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 c fresh bread crumbs
Place the first 6 ingredients in a food processor and process until the texture resembles minced veggies. Saute the mixture in some olive oil for several mins (along w/ the minced garlic), then add the sauces, basil, oregano, and some s & p. Saute for another couple of mins, then remove from heat & stir in the parsley; set aside to cool. Once it's cooled a bit, combine the sauteed veggies w/ the sausages, ground beef, eggs & bread crumbs. Place the mixture in the loaf tins, spoon some more chili sauce on top, and place in a 350 oven for 1 hour or so.
This yielded 2 largish loaf tins - used leftovers for sannies; then when I was tired of them, turned the last 2/3 of a tin into a pasta sauce!
