Mini Kofta Meatloaf
- 8 oz ground beef/ground lamb mix
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ onion, grated (approximately ¼ cup)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped plus 1 for garnish
- 1½ tsp ground coriander
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground allspice
- ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
- ⅛ tsp ground ginger
- ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Grind the salt and garlic into a paste using a mortar and pestle or chef's knife.
- In a small bowl, add the ground meat, onions, spices, and garlic/salt mix.
- Blend by hand to distribute well throughout the meat.
- Spray a small loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the meat to the pan and lightly form to the sides.
- Bake the meat loaf approximately 20 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees.
- Remove and allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and gravy is desired.
For the gravy, I used the pan drippings. I cooked the drippings in the sauce pan to remove the water before creating the roux to deepen the flavors.
