Categories Beef Pork

Yield 6 - 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 large eggs, lightly beaten
5 garlic cloves, minced
3 scallions, white and light green parts finely chopped
1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dried bread crumbs
3 tablespoons chicken stock, heavy cream or milk
1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon pine nuts, optional

Steps:

Heat oven to 350. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, garlic, scallions, jalapeno, sage, salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, stir together bread crumbs and stock, cream or milk. Let stand five minutes. Add pork, beef and soaked bread crumbs to egg mixture. Knead ingredients together until just combined. Press mixture evenly into a 8 or 9 inch loaf pan. Bake 55 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together the tomato paste and olive oil. After meatloaf has finished baking, brush top with glaze; sprinkle with pine nuts, if using. Bake 15 minutes more (glaze will be thick and a meat thermometer should read 160). Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
