Paying the Price
This weekend I've been 'researching' (makes it sound good) the way we eat, and came across an interesting fact: that we each eat a ton of food a year, divided into around a thousand meals (which doesn't count snacks). This is possibly (it didn't say) the right amount to eat to keep us well nourished. But it will all go terribly wrong if a lot of those meals consist of junk foods. For which of course we have to pay over the odds. So bring back home-cooking using quality ingredients and we'll all end up all feeling bright-eyed and bushy tailed.
Today's recipe is a way to use up a small amount of mince to feed more than you expect.
Meat Loaf:
4 oz each minced beef and grated apple, 1 onion and 1 carrot, grated
1 slice brown bread, crumbed, 1 egg, beaten
1 tblsp. each tomato puree and honey, dash of brown sauce
Mix together everything except the tomato puree and honey, and press into a small greased loaf tin. Blend the puree and honey together and spread over the meat mixture. Bake at 170C, 325F, Gas 3 for one hour then cover with foil and turn out the heat. Leave in the cooling oven for a further 15 minutes. This can be eaten sliced hot or cold.
