I watch the Food Network all time and get ideas. Then I alter them to work within the Paleo diet. Here's how I did it with Meatloaf. This works for Meatballs as well.
Ingredients:
2 lbs. ground beef (or you can use a mix of pork, veal, whatever you like)
2 eggs
2 tsps crushed garlic or 5 cloves chopped
1 package of frozen organic chopped spinach, defrosted and drained
1 medium onion chopped finely
Salt and Pepper, of course
Take off your rings and mix all together with your hands. ( Messy!)
Place in a loaf pan or casserole dish.
Add a 1/4 cup of organic beef broth or dry red wine.
For an Italian twist - I add Parmesan Cheese and Romano Cheese and bake it with tomato sauce at 375 degrees until the internal temp reaches 175.
For use in meatballs - just roll them into 1.5 inch balls. Brown them in a large frying pan. Add liquid of choice and cook for 45 minutes on simmer. Turning every 15 minutes.
You say 'add liquid of choice' but whiskey meatballs don't seem very appealing. We are, however, trying bison meatloaf tonight.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it should say "add reasonable liquid of choice"... :)
ReplyDeleteYeah yeah. Don't be mean to me or you won't get any of the deviled eggs I made today.
ReplyDeleteOk, we did Italian twist bison meatloaf tonight, 9x9 pan for ~1:15 with 1 8oz can tomato sauce. Next time, another can of sauce, more parmesan, and a little more spicing, but it was still flavorful and not dry at all.
