Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that combines ground meats with vegetables, herbs, and spices to create a hearty and flavorful dish. This particular recipe uses a blend of lamb and pork, along with aromatic ingredients like onion, carrot, and garlic. A touch of spearmint adds a unique twist to this traditional favorite.
- Grate the carrot and finely chop the onion and garlic to ensure they integrate well into the meat mixture and cook evenly.
- Use fresh breadcrumbs for better texture and moisture retention.
- Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10-15 minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute and make slicing easier.
- Consider adding a glaze of ketchup or barbecue sauce on top of the meatloaf before baking for extra flavor and a beautiful finish.
- If you don’t have spearmint on hand, fresh parsley or basil can be great alternatives.
This meatloaf offers a satisfying blend of textures and flavors, from the savory meats to the fresh spearmint and hearty vegetables. Whether served as a main course for dinner or sliced up for sandwiches, this meatloaf is sure to become a family favorite. Enjoy it hot out of the oven with your choice of sides, or even as leftovers!
