A year ago I made a moose meatloaf from Nourishing Traditions and it was lovely. I need to make it more often as it's a tasty and easy way to get protein. I made a similar one a few days ago and have been enjoying a bit of it daily - mostly cut up cold in salads or as an accompaniment to veggies. This is the food that keeps me OFF the sweet stuff.
Moose Veggie Meatloaf
1/2 lb ground meat (I used moose)
1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 small stalk celery, finely chopped
1/4 finely chopped carrot
1/2 cup packed spinach, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Himalayan salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Cayenne, to taste
1 egg
2-4 tablespoons ground flax seed
4-5 tablespoons tomato paste or thinly sliced tomato
Saute onions, carrot, and celery in the oil or butter until almost soft. Add the spinach and saute until all veggies are soft. Add the seasonings and stir.
Add the meat, cooked veggies, egg & flax to a large bowl. Mix all together.
Press the mixture into a small pan or ramekins.
Spread a thin layer of tomato paste on top.
Bake in a 350F oven for 20-30 minutes (depending on what vessel you cook in). Cut a slit to see if it's cooked through (NO pink).
