1770 HOUSE MEATLOAF
Provided by Ina Garten
Time 1h30m
Yield 6 to 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 20
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent but not browned. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Place the beef, veal, pork, parsley, thyme, chives, eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Put the panko in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until the panko is finely ground.
- Add the onion mixture and the panko to the meat mixture. With clean hands, gently toss the mixture together, making sure it's combined but not compacted.
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan. Pat the meat into a flat rectangle and then press the sides in until it forms a cylinder down the middle of the pan (this will ensure no air pockets). Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a thermometer inserted in the middle reads 155 degrees F to 160 degrees F. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve hot with the Garlic Sauce.
- Combine the oil and garlic in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Be careful not to burn the garlic or it will be bitter. Remove the garlic from the oil and set aside. (I save the oil for vinaigrettes.)
- Combine the chicken stock, butter and cooked garlic in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook at a full boil for 35 to 40 minutes, until slightly thickened. Mash the garlic with a fork, whisk in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and taste for seasonings. Spoon the warm sauce over the meatloaf.
MEATLOAF - 1770 HOUSE
Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F 1. Place every item except the onion and celery in a large mixing bowl. 2. Heat a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat and film it with extra virgin olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the celery and onion to the pan and cook, stirring, until softened. Remove the celery and onion from the pan and let cool. When the mixture is cool, add it to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients. 3. By hand, mix the ingredients until well combined and everything is evenly distributed. 4. Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking pan (it should have sides at least 1.5 inches high to prevent grease runoff from the pan). Free form the meat loaf on the pan into a rectangular cylinder. Pat it and punch it down and reform into a cylinder-this will get rid of air pockets. 5. Place the pan in the pre-heated 350F degree oven and bake 40 to 50 minutes or until a probe thermometer indicates an internal temperature of 155-160 degrees. 6. Remove from the oven and let the loaf rest for 10 minutes. Slice into portions of your preference and serve with potato puree and sautéed spinach. Sauce: Combine all of the ingredients and cook over medium high heat until lightly thickened. Spoon the sauce over the meat loaf.
Tips:
- Use a combination of ground beef and pork for a moist and flavorful meatloaf.
- Soak the bread in milk before adding it to the meat mixture. This will help to bind the ingredients together and prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry.
- Season the meatloaf generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic, onion, paprika, or chili powder.
- Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape and place it in a baking dish. Bake the meatloaf at 350°F for 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
