SPICY, GARLICKY MEATLOAF



Spicy, Garlicky Meatloaf image

This meatloaf is as pungent and zesty as a meatball, but baked in that iconic, sliceable loaf form. A combination of chilies and sage add a spicy, earthy note, and a glaze of tomato paste and olive oil elevates a traditional dish away from its ketchup roots. The pine nuts are a visual cue: this is something a little different. And it tastes great the day after.

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 large eggs, lightly beaten
5 garlic cloves, minced
3 scallions, white and light green parts, finely chopped
1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dried bread crumbs
3 tablespoons chicken stock, heavy cream or milk
1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons pine nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, garlic, scallions, jalapeño, sage, salt and black pepper.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together bread crumbs and stock, cream or milk. Let stand five minutes.
  • Add pork, beef and soaked bread crumbs to egg mixture. Knead ingredients together until just combined. Press mixture evenly into an 8- or 9-inch loaf pan. Bake for 55 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the tomato paste and olive oil. After meatloaf has finished baking, brush top with glaze; sprinkle with pine nuts, if using. Bake 15 minutes more (glaze will be thick and a meat thermometer should read 160 degrees). Let meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground meats. This will give your meatloaf more flavor and texture. Ground beef, pork, and veal are all good choices.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing will make the meatloaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Add some moisture to the meatloaf. This will help keep it from drying out. You can add milk, eggs, or tomato sauce.
  • Season the meatloaf generously. This will give it plenty of flavor. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature for a short time. This will help create a crispy crust on the outside and a juicy interior.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This easy spicy meatloaf recipe is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and juicy meatloaf that your family and friends will love.
