Puffed Quinoa Meatloaf

Puffed Quinoa Meatloaf

Effort: Easy

Serves 4

Ingredients

1/2 lb ground meat (I used lean ground pork)

1/2 a sweet yellow pepper or red pepper chopped

2 cups puffed quinoa plus some for rolling

1/2 cup breadcrumbs plus some for rolling

1 egg

Fine sea salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tbs Canola oil plus some for drizzling

Method

Heat oven to 400o.

Drizzle the canola oil into a baking dish, such as a Pyrex. Lay a paper towel out and sprinkle generously with breadcrumbs.

Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix together with your hands until well combined. Still using your hands, shape the mixture into a long log then gently roll in the breadcrumbs. Place in the centre of the baking dish and drizzle a little oil over it, then sprinkle generously with puffed quinoa.

Cover with foil and bake for about 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until browned and cooked through.
