Meat loaf gets dressed up for company with this savory recipe. The ground meat is well seasoned with curry powder, allspice, green onion and thyme. And the potato coating adds a special touch. âWendy Hoskin Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Ingredients:
1 medium onion, finely chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
4-1/2 teaspoons curry powder |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
3/4 cup canola oil |
2 green onions, thinly sliced |
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
3/4 cup soft bread crumbs |
1-1/2 pounds ground turkey or beef |
1/2 pound ground veal |
potato topping: |
1-1/2 pounds red potatoes, peeled and cubed |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup vegetable broth |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. In a small skillet, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in the seasonings. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in green onions and thyme. Transfer to a large bowl; cool to room temperature.
2. Whisk in eggs; stir in bread crumbs. Crumble beef and veal over mixture and mix well. Shape into a loaf; place in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water; add salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Mash potatoes with the broth, oil, pepper and reserved cooking liquid.
4. Using a large star tip, pipe mashed potatoes onto meat loaf. Bake 45 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and meat is no longer pink. Yield: 8 servings.
