Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ¼ cups herb-seasoned croutons
1 (12 ounce) jar salsa
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 cup finely chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground chicken
½ pound ground pork
1 egg
1 ½ tablespoons taco seasoning mix
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
¼ cup cilantro, minced
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 5x9-inch loaf pan.
  • Mix the croutons with salsa in a large bowl, and set aside to soften, about 15 minutes. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the jalapeno pepper, onion, and garlic until the onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Mix the ground chicken, ground pork, egg, taco seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, pepperjack cheese, and cilantro into the crouton mixture, and mash any unbroken croutons. Mix in the cooked onion mixture. Transfer the meatloaf into the prepared loaf pan. Mix the barbecue sauce and brown sugar together in a bowl, stirring until the sugar has dissolved, and brush the barbecue sauce mixture over the loaf. Fold a 12-inch long piece of aluminum foil into a tent, and place the foil tent over the loaf.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear and the loaf is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. Remove foil tent for last 10 minutes of baking. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (72 degrees C). Remove from oven, cover the loaf with foil, and let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

SWEET AND SPICY MEATLOAF

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 green bell peppers, diced small
2 red bell peppers, diced small
1 large yellow onion, diced small
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup whole milk
2 heads garlic, roasted and mashed into a paste
2 heads garlic, roasted and mashed into a paste
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup steak sauce
1/4 cup sriracha
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning
2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
3 eggs, beaten
1 bunch fresh Italian parsley, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mashed potatoes, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the green peppers, red peppers and onions until very soft and browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate or baking sheet and refrigerate until cold. (This can be done a day ahead.)
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix the breadcrumbs, milk and roasted garlic in a bowl; it should have an oatmeal-like consistency. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix the ketchup, steak sauce, sriracha, maple syrup and steak seasoning. If the sauce is too spicy for you, add a little more ketchup to mellow the heat. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, combine the ground beef, sausage, parsley, eggs, pepper-onion mixture and two-thirds of the meatloaf sauce. Mix well, but don't overwork. Take a small ball of the mixture and make a bite-size patty. Saute the patty in a pan until cooked through, then taste. Add salt and pepper to the meatloaf mix as needed.
  • When you are happy with the flavor, place the meatloaf mixture in a greased loaf pan, or form it into a log and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven; adjust the oven to a low broil. Brush the top of the loaf with half of the remaining sauce, then return to the oven to caramelize the sauce, 2 to 3 minutes. Let rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with mashed potatoes and a drizzle of the remaining sauce.

SHAWARMA-SPICED CHICKEN PITA WITH TAHINI-YOGURT SAUCE



Shawarma-Spiced Chicken Pita with Tahini-Yogurt Sauce image

Traditional shawarma calls for roasting meat on a large vertical spit. We mimic the effect here by roasting at a high temperature, which yields chicken that is crisp on the outside yet moist and juicy on the inside.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Ground chicken breast is the leanest option, but it can be dry. Ground chicken thigh is more flavorful and moist, but it's also higher in fat. You can also use a combination of the two.
  • Use fresh, flavorful spices. The spices are what really make this dish sing, so don't skimp on them. Use fresh, high-quality spices for the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the chicken. Overmixing can make the chicken tough, so be gentle when mixing the ingredients together.
  • Bake the chicken loaf at a high temperature. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside moist.
  • Let the chicken loaf rest before slicing. This will help to keep the juices from running out when you slice it.

Conclusion:

Spiced chicken loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad. This recipe is a great starting point for creating your own spiced chicken loaf. Feel free to experiment with different spices and ingredients to create a dish that's perfect for your taste.
