Tonight we tried something new. Meatloaf...now that might not sound new, but I've never made it like this before. I was a little nervous about it, but it came out really good. Will definitely be making it again. I doubled the recipe and froze one of the meatloaves for leftovers. So here's the recipe:
Quinoa Meatloaf
For 2 servings:
1 pound minced beef
2 eggs
1/4 cup of uncooked quinoa
1 medium onion
3 garlic cloves
2 chilies
1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
1 teaspoon Thyme
1 teaspoon Rosemary
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/4 cup of uncooked quinoa
1 medium onion
3 garlic cloves
2 chilies
1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
1 teaspoon Thyme
1 teaspoon Rosemary
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
Cook quinoa as directed. Preheat oven to 350 F. Add onion, chili, and cloves to a food processor and chop finely. Add cooked quinoa and all ingredients to a large bowl and mix together. Grease a loaf tray with coconut or olive oil, then add the mixture and bake for 1 hour.
I didn't have any chilies, so I left that out, but I'm sure that would be a welcome addition. My house still smells amazing as a result of this.
We also had steamed broccoli with it. Delicious!!!! Nicholas couldn't get enough of the broccoli!!!!
I just bought a big nag of Quinoa so I'm excited to have a tested recipe to use it in! Thanks! Teresa
