Mini Meat Loaf

 

Mini Meat Loaf

 Ingredients (meat and to mix with the meat)

- 1 1/2 lbs of any ground meat of your choice
- 2 tbsps of garlic, ginger, and green chili paste
- 1 small chopped onion, fried
- 2 tbsps of yogurt
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1/3rd cup of olive oil (or vegetable oil)
- 2 tbsps ketchup
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably fresh)
- 1 tsp of ground spice (cloves, cinnamon, cardamom)

 

Mix all the ingredients together.

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.

Take a cupcake pan, spray with oil, and put a small amount of breadcrumbs into each cup.

Press handful of the ground meat mixture into each of the cups and sprinkle with breadcrumbs on top. Once more, spray or brush oil on top.

Cover with a foil and put it into the oven (middle rack). Set the timer for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes of baking with the foil, remove the foil and back for another 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, and leave the pan inside the oven for another 5 - 6 minutes. It should have a light brown color.

Remove the mini meat loaf from the pan and set aside. Reserve the juice.

For the sauce:

In a pan, put a little oil, saute two diced tomatoes. Add 1 tsp of tomato paste, 1 tsp of diced garlic, and a little salt and sugar. Pour the reserved juice into this. As the gravy thickens, pour it over the mini meat loaves.

Garnish with parsley and serve.
