By Karen Barnaby This meatloaf is adapted from the Two Fat Ladies. They called it hedgehog, probably because of its shape. This makes a very pleasantly seasoned meatloaf that is reminiscent in flavour of a pate. Read more Confirmed liver haters can omit the livers. This makes one HUGE meatloaf. I like to make two smaller, torpedo shaped ones (and freeze one for later) or divide the recipe by half and reduce the cooking time by 1/2 hour See less
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb. mushrooms, diced shopping list
- butter shopping list
- salt shopping list
- Freshly ground pepper shopping list
- Grated nutmeg shopping list
- 1/2 lb. chicken livers shopping list
- 1 1/2 lbs. each ground beef, ground pork shopping list
- 1 pound sausage meat shopping list
- 1/2 cup finely diced onion shopping list
- 3 fat cloves garlic, crushed to a paste shopping list
- 1 tsp. ground coriander seeds shopping list
- 1 tsp. ground allspice shopping list
- 2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme or rosemary shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 1/2 lb. sliced bacon shopping list
- bay leaves shopping list
- Branches of fresh rosemary shopping list
How to make it
- Sauté the mushrooms in butter until the juices run, then season with salt and pepper and nutmeg. Reserve.
- Remove the sinews from the livers. Lightly poach the livers in simmering water, just until they turn grey and firm up. Cool and dice.
- In a large bowl combine the ground meats, sausage, livers, onion, garlic, coriander, allspice and thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper, keeping in mind that the sausage contains salt.
- Beat the eggs and add to the mixture together with the mushrooms. Mix with your hands thoroughly.
- Oil a roasting pan and place all the mixture in it, molding it into an oval shape. Adorn with the bacon slices, criss-crossed, tucking the ends under the meat. Tuck some bay leaves and branches of rosemary into the bacon.
- Cook in a preheated oven at 450 degrees for 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 350ºF and cook for 1 1/2 hours.
- When cooked, there will be lots of lovely juices in the bottom of the pan. Save them to flavor soup or stocks, and save the fat to fry eggs. Remove the loaf and place on a serving dish. Serve hot or cold.
