Ingredients

  • Coriander: handful coriander leaves, finely chopped
  • Vegetable Oil: vegetable oil, for greasing
  • Garlic Clove: 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Cherry Tomato: 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Spring Onion: 3 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped
  • Egg: 2 eggs, beaten
  • Ground Cumin: 2 tsp ground cumin
  • Breadcrumb: 100g white breadcrumbs
  • Tabasco Sauce: 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce, optional
  • Chilli Sauce: 6-8 tbsp chilli sauce (we used Linghams), optional
  • Minced Beef: 1kg lean minced beef

Directions

  1. Mix together beef, breadcrumbs, spring onions, garlic, eggs, cumin, Tabasco, coriander and some seasoning until combined. Be careful not to over-mix or the meatloaves will be tough.
  2. Divide the mixture into 8. Use your hands to shape each one into a small oval, like a mini meatloaf. Arrange 3 cherry tomatoes on top of each, then drizzle over the chilli sauce, if using. Cook or freeze in airtight plastic containers.
  3. To cook, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the meatloaves on a lightly greased, shallow baking tray and bake for 25-30 mins until the meat is cooked through.
  4. To cook from frozen, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Place the meatloaves on a baking tray and loosely cover with foil. Cook for 30 mins, then remove the foil increase the temperature to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and cook for a further 25 mins.
