Simple Meatloaf
Published in Meat Dishes
Not a bad meatloaf, but very ordinary compared to Aunt Sally! Serve with Tomato-Pepper Sauce, potatoes and a green vegetable or salad.
Ingredients:
- 600 g topside mince
- 200 g pork sausage meat
- 100 g fresh brown breadcrumbs
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 3 tbl chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp ground allspice
- ¼ teasp black pepper
- ½ – 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs, beaten
Preparation:
- Lightly fry onion and garlic in a little oil – this is optional- but it does remove the raw onion taste from the finished loaf
- Combine all the ingredients and test for seasoning. Press firmly and evenly into a 1 kg loaf tin and cover tightly with foiL
- Bake at 160° C for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for a further 15 – 20 minutes.
- Test for doneness – juices should run clear.
- Rest in tin for about 10 minutes, then tum out and slice.
Notes
- Allspice or pimento mustn’t be confused with mixed spice, which has a completely different taste. Ground allspice/pimento can be quite difficult to find, so feel free to change the spices to suit your taste. I find that Robertson’s Garlic and Herb mixture is quite nice in this dish.
Serves 6 – 8.
