Can you share a recipe for the Masala meatloaf. Thanks!



Sure! This recipe makes two one pound loaves. I usually serve one at dinner and freeze the second loaf.

Masala Meatloaf Recipe

Ingredients:
2 lbs lean ground beef
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 onion, chopped
10 sprigs cilantro (used 2 handfuls, chopped)
1 Tbsp ginger paste*
1 Tbsp garlic paste*
1 small green chili (seeded and chopped)
1 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp garam masala
1/3 cup plain bread crumbs
salt to taste
extra virgin olive oil

Topping:
1 cup canned tomato sauce
1 tsp ground cumin

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a saute pan on medium heat, soften the onions in a little bit of extra virgin olive oil (a few minutes).
3. Combine onion and all ingredients (except for topping) in a large mixing bowl. If you're not a fan of spicy food, omit the green chili.
4. Place meat mixture into meat loaf pan (I did two 1 lb mini meatloaf pans 8"x4").
5. In a small mixing bowl, combine tomato sauce and ground cumin.
6. Brush top of each loaf with tomato topping.
7. Bake for 1 hr 15 minutes. Continue to check temp of meatloaf until fully cooked.

Notes-
*To make the ginger and garlic paste, place an inch of ginger root and 4 cloves of garlic in a mini processor. Add some water (not a lot) and grind into a paste or liquid puree.

If there's a lot of liquid at the bottom of the pan when the meatloaf is cooked, just drain the excess liquid.
