WildStar 0 Posted February 24, 2007 Lasagna Meatloaf Total Time: 1 hr 10 min Makes: 24 servings Ingredients: Sauce: 1 Tbsp. olive oil 1 onion, chopped 2 tsp. dried basil 2 cans (19 oz. each) chopped tomatoes, undrained 5 ½ oz. can tomato paste ½ tsp. crushed red pepper (optional for those who like a little heat) Filling: 6 cups fresh spinach 1 egg 1 cup ricotta cheese ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded 3 Tbsp. PARMESAN cheese, grated 3 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped 2 Tbsp. milk 1/8 tsp. nutmeg 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper Meat: 1 ½ lb. lean ground beef 1 egg, beaten 1 onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced ½ cup bread crumbs 3 Tbsp. PARMESAN cheese ½ tsp. salt ½ tsp. pepper Preparation: Preheat oven to 350° F. Sauce: Cook onion and garlic over medium heat until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and ½ cup tomato paste and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes, continuing to stir often. Season to taste with salt and pepper and, if desired, crushed red pepper. Set aside. Filling: Wash spinach. Shake off excess water but do not dry. Place spinach in a saucepan with no additional water, cover and cook over medium-high heat until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside. Mix together egg, cheeses, parsley, nutmeg and salt and pepper. Set aside. Meat: Mix together all ingredients except meat. Combine with the meat and mix well. Cut two large sheets of waxed or parchment paper. Roll meat mixture into a 18" X 8" rectangle and remove top layer of paper. Leaving a 1" border on all sides, spread a layer of spinach over meat, followed by cheese mixture and 1 cup of sauce. Roll meat from the short end, just like you would when making a jellyroll cake, lifting the paper out of the way as you go. Don't worry if some of the filling oozes out, just tuck it back in. Carefully transfer roll, seam side up, to a 9" X 5" loaf pan. Bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes or until temperature on a meat thermometer reaches 145° F. Let stand for 20 minutes before removing from pan. Drain off excess fat, remove from pan. Serve in slices, covered in the remaining tomato sauce. Notes: This is as about as spectacular as meatloaf gets. Stuffed with a cheesy spinach filling and rolled it's as impressive as it is delicious. It's also a sneaky way to get kids to eat spinach. In a hurry? Subsitute your favorite bottled pasta sauce for the home made version here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gently mix until combined. Form into eight patties about ½-inch thick, place on baking sheet and let chill in refrigerator or freezer until very firm. Dredge each patty in the flour, dip in egg wash letting excess drip off, and dredge in bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere breading. Heat sautee pan on medium heat with about ¼-inch of vegetable oil. Test oil by dropping in a few bread crumbs and look for a gentle sizzle. Place four of the patties in the hot oil, brown for about one minute, flip over, and cook until golden. Drain on paper towels or cooling rack. Repeat with the other four patties. If inside is not thoroughly heated through, place on cookie sheet and heat in 400 F oven for five minutes or until hot inside. Serve with cucumber salad, cabbage salad, boiled root vegetables, or use as a foundation for a poached egg for breakfast.

Boiled Bacon And Cabbage Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Irish Meats Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ ------------ --------- --------- -- 2 1/2 lb Collar of bacon Medium-sized cabbage (NB: in Ireland, "bacon" can mean *any* cut of pork except ham. When people here want what North Americans call bacon, they ask for "rashers" or "streaky rashers". As far as I can tell, "collar of bacon" is a cut from the hock, picnic shoulder, or shoulder butt (I am here using terms from the diagram in THE JOY OF COOKING). You want any thick cut of pork, with or without bones, about four inches by four inches by four or five inches. It does not have to have been salted first, but if you want to approximate the taste of the real Irish thing, put it down in brine for a day or two, then (when ready to cook it) bring to a boil first, boil about 10 minutes, change the water, and start the recipe from the following point. . Place the joint in a pot, cover with cold water and bring to the boil, Remove the scum that floats to the surface. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours (or 30 minutes per pound). Cut cabbage into quarters and add to pot. Cook gently for about 1/2 hour, or until cabbage is cooked to your liking. (Test constantly: don't overdo it!) Drain, and serve with potatoes boiled in their jackets, and a sharp sauce -- mustard or (if you can get it) HP sauce.
