Meatloaf

Porcini Jus

Method

Meatloaf Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    In a skillet, cook the diced onions in a bit of oil over medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy. Add cumin and stir for an additional minute. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and chop into small pieces, reserving some bacon drippings.

  3. 3

    Mix the Meatloaf

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, cooked bacon, crispy onions, minced garlic, eggs, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Shape the Meatloaf

    Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a baking sheet. Smooth the top.

  5. 5

    Bake the Meatloaf

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the meatloaf for about 60-75 minutes, or until cooked through.

Porcini Jus Preparation

  1. 6

    Rehydrate the Porcini

    Soak the dried porcini mushrooms in hot water for about 20 minutes. Drain and chop.

  2. 7

    Make the Jus

    In a saucepan, combine beef broth, red wine, chopped porcini, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and reduce until slightly thickened, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 8

    Finish the Jus

    Stir in butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
