Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon good olive oil
3 cups chopped yellow onions (3 onions)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup canned chicken stock or broth

Off the heat, add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste. Allow to cool slightly.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the internal temperature is 155 to 160 degrees F and the meat loaves are cooked through. Serve hot.

TUNA LOAF



Tuna Loaf image

I was looking for a tuna loaf recipe and found Carol Junkins 'Tuna Cakes~Flavors of Cape Cod.' I made few changes and additions, and on Carol's suggestion, here it is. Loaf will be on the dry side, since it's tuna and therefore, no fat, so you may want to serve with tartar sauce, a dill mayo, or any of your choice.
