Veal Loaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a skillet over moderate heat, add the oil. Heat the oil until hot, but not smoking. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, mustard, and hot sauce together. Add marjoram, thyme, salt, and pepper.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the meats, egg-milk mixture, breadcrumbs, parsley, and the cooked onion mixture.
• In a small bowl, stir together ketchup, sugar, and vinegar. Set aside.
• Form 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture into a small patty, add it to a small oiled skillet, and cook until no longer pink. Taste for seasoning and adjust.
• Transfer meat mixture to an oiled loaf pan. Brush meat with ketchup glaze.
• Bake in oven for about 45 minutes, until glaze has set. Brush meatloaf with remaining glaze and bake for 15 minutes more. Internal temperature of loaf should be 160 degrees F.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Cut parchment paper long enough to hang over the wide side of a large loaf pan.
• In a food processor combine the onion, carrot, celery, pepper and garlic then pulse until roughly pureed.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground veal and pureed vegetables. Gently mix in the breadcrumbs, milk, mustard, ketchup and salt & pepper until thoroughly combined.
• Press the mixture into the parchment lined loaf pan. If using the eggs, gently press the hardboiled eggs down the centre of the loaf, being careful not to break them.
• Place the pan on a rimmed cookie sheet to catch any spills, then bake for 45 minutes.
• Combine all of the glaze ingredients and set aside.
• Remove the loaf from the oven and slather the top with all of the glaze. Return to the oven and bake for another 45 minutes or until done (meat should reach an internal temperature of 160F in the centre).
• Let the meat loaf rest for 10 minutes, then lift out of the pan using the parchment paper. Slice with serrated knife.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Saute onions and mushrooms until wilted and onions are tender. Let cool completely. Mix all ingredients together, adding bread crumbs a little at a time until desired consistency. Generously oil 1 meatloaf tray. Pack mix into tray tightly to keep holes from being created in the loaf. Cover the tray with aluminum foil. Transfer the meatloaf to a pan with high sides and filled 1/4 with water. Bake for 1 to 2 hours, checking for doneness after 1 hour. Let stand at room temperature before removing from the pan. Cool then cover.;

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place potatoes in a pot, cover them with water, then bring water up to a boil; salt it and cook potatoes until fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes or so.
• While the potatoes are working, combine veal with egg, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup cheese, sage, salt, and black pepper. Form 4 (1-inch thick) oval shaped meat loaves. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. Brown meatloaves 2 to 3 minutes on each side then transfer to a nonstick baking sheet and finish in the oven, 6 to 8 minutes. Return skillet to heat, add another turn of extra-virgin olive oil to the pan and the mushrooms and the garlic. Cook mushrooms until dark and tender, 5 to 6 minutes, then add salt and pepper and 1 cup chicken stock to deglaze the pan.
• While the mushrooms cook, melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepot. Add flour and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Reduce the sauce a few minutes to thicken a bit.
• Drain potatoes and add them back to warm pot. Add half of the milk sauce to potatoes with prosciutto and remaining 1/2 cup cheese, a couple of handfuls. Smash the potatoes to desired consistency and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the remaining milk sauce to the mushrooms, stir in Gorgonzola cheese to melt, then add the broth and combine. Serve the meatloaves with Gorgonzola-mushroom gravy over top and prosciutto potatoes alongside. Serve with green salad or wine steeped greens, recipe follows.
• Heat a deep skillet over medium heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, and garlic. Cook garlic a couple of minutes while you chop kale then remove the clove. Crank heat up a notch them add greens to wilt them down, 2 to 3 minutes of turning is involved here. Add wine, salt, and pepper and reduce heat to simmer. Steep the greens in wine 10 minutes, stir in zest then serve.
• Yield: 4 servings
• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Ease of preparation: easy

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• 2. Put the beef, veal, and pork into a bowl and kneed them together.
• 3. Pour the milk into a bowl and soak the bread in it, squeezing it into a paste. Add the soaked bread to the bowl with the meat and work them together as though you were kneading dough. Add the cheese, garlic, onion, eggs, oregano, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and knead again until well incorporated.
• 4. Oil a large roasting pan with the olive oil. Form the meat mixture into a large loaf in the center of a roasting pan.
• 5. Stir in the plum tomatoes, tomato paste, and 1 cup water together in a bowl and pour the mixture evenly over the meatloaf. Scatter the carrots and celery in the pan around the loaf.
• 6. Put the pan in the oven and bake until a skewer inserted in the center of the loaf comes out warm, about 1 1/2 hours. If the loaf begins to look dry while cooking, tent it with aluminum foil. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool slightly.
• 7. Slice the meatloaf into servings, put 1 serving on each plate and spoon pan gravy and vegetables over and around the meatloaf.
• Your Nightly Specials
• You can make the loaf with beef and veal only, or with just beef.
• Lay some raw bacon strips over the loaf before baking. (This was one way my mother made her meatloaf extra special.)
• Add some sautéed mushrooms to the pan during the last 20 minutes of cooking.

Steps:

• Make the meatloaf: Heat oven to 350 degrees and grease a rimmed baking sheet with oil. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste until well combined; let cool.
• In a large bowl, combine bread and milk, and mash with a spoon until a paste forms. Add eggs, parsley, salt, pepper, thyme and cooled onion mixture and mix until well blended. Add the beef, pork and veal, and mix gently to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat. Divide mixture into 2 equal portions and shape each into a 4-by-8-inch meatloaf on the prepared baking sheet.
• Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Use a spoon to spread mixture over the top and sides of each meatloaf. Bake until nicely browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of meatloaf registers 160 degrees, 45 to 55 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pulse bread in a food processor until finely ground. (You should have about 2 1/2 cups breadcrumbs.) Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Pulse garlic, onion, celery, carrot, and parsley in food processor until finely chopped. Add to breadcrumbs. Add meats, egg, 1/4 cup ketchup, the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; mix together using your hands. Transfer mixture to a 5-by-9-inch loaf pan.
• Stir together remaining 1/2 cup ketchup and the brown sugar until smooth; brush onto meat. Set pan on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 160 degrees, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
