Ingredients:
2 cup Cubed, (1-inch) bread, or - bread crumbs
4 tbsp Olive oil
3 tbsp Ground cumin, divided
1 tbsp Ground nutmeg, plus
1 tsp Ground nutmeg
1 Onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup Finely chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup Finely chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup Finely chopped scallions, white & green parts
1 tbsp Finely minced garlic
1 lb Ground beef chuck
1 lb Ground turkey
2 large Eggs
1/3 cup Heavy cream, (or whipping cream)
3/4 cup Salsa, (optional)
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toss bread cubes with two tablespoons of
oil and one tablespoon each of cumin and nutmeg in a large bowl. Place the
cubes on a baking sheet and bake, turning them once, until toasted, about
15 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Place the cubes in a food
processor, reserving the bowl they cooled in, and process to form
medium-fine crumbs. Transfer cubes to bowl and let sit for 30 minutes.
Heat the remaining two tablespoons of oil in a non-stick skillet over low
heat. Add onion, both bell peppers and scallions. Cook for about eight
minutes, stirring until almost wilted. Add garlic and cook for five
minutes. Place the vegetables in the bowl that the bread cubes were tossed
in, and let cool to room temperature. Add ground beef and turkey and
blend with vegetables. Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl. Add cream,
salsa (optional), the remaining two teaspoons cumin, one tespoon nutmeg,
salt and pepper. Add this mixture to the meat and vegetables and blend
together lightly with your hands. Add enough of the seasoned bread crumbs
to bind everything together. Form the mixture into an oval loaf and place
it in a baking dish to fit. Bake until cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes.
Do not overcook. Remove from oven and use a small spoon to carefully
remove any foam that forms around the bottom of the loaf. Let meatloaf
rest for at least ten minutes before slicing it. Serve hot or at room
temperature. Serves 6. HGTV - Home Grown Cooking - Episode 121
