Directions: |
Directions:In a pot or microwave safe bowl steam quinoa ( 1 parts quinoa to 1.5 parts water) for 5-10 mins. When it is finished it will be soft to the touch. Immediately blanch the quinoa to stop the cooking process ( you don't want it to cook your meat while mixing your ingredients). In a separate bowl combine all other ingredients (when the quinoa has cooled you will add it to the meat mixture) fold in the ingredients with your hands as to thoroughly incorporate all ingredients. form loaf and place in pan, apply 1/3 of ketchup or tomato sauce on top of loaf. Once meat mix is combined put meatloaf in oven at 400 F for 20- 30 mins. after the first 10 mins have passed gradually add remainder of ketchup or tomato sauce to loaf until fully coated.
If your are making a tomato sauce I suggest setting a side a bit of your mis en place ( dry ingredients and veggies only). In a sauce pan add 2 Tbsp butter, let it melt then add 3 Tbsp flour. Stir mixture until golden brown creating a roux for your sauce. Add 4 oz canned crushed tomato, dry ingredients and veggies, mix well and let simmer for 2-3 mins, turn off heat and let cool/ thicken. Apply as directed.
