Ideal Protein recipe: Meatloaf

[fear_ciuil]

I hope this works, because it's dinner for tonight and tomorrow. I suppose if all else fails, I can slather it with dijon.

Meatloaf

Ingredients

• olive oil


• 2 cups (200g) caulirice


• 1 cup (101g) celery, diced


• 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp minced garlic from jar)


• 1 egg white


• 1 tsp parsley


• 1 tsp thyme


• 2 tsp chives


• 2 tsp sea salt


• 1 tsp ground black pepper


• 1 lb ground meat (elk, bison, extra-lean beef, turkey--though red meat is preferred)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.


2. In medium saute pan, warm olive oil over medium heat. Saute caulirice, celery and garlic for 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.


3. In medium mixing bowl, lightly beat egg white. Add parsley, thyme, chives, salt, pepper, and turkey. Add caulirice mixture. With clean hands, toss ingredients until combined.


4. Line two 5.75"x3" loaf pans with parchment paper. Divide meat mixture in half by weight and press half into each loaf pan.


5. Bake 40 minutes or until done. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Verdict: Much better with red meat than with turkey.
