Moroccan Meatloaf - Loafing Around

"This is a healthier take on a classic dish. The meat quanity has been reduced and replaced with kumara (sweet potato) and burghul wheat. Low GI and delicious. I used beef mince and the taste was fine. Time to make does not include soaking time for burghul."

  1. Kathy, your not-much-meat-meatloaf was a real winner. It's full of flavour, has lovely texture and is so easy to make! I minced my own lamb and added in about 1 teaspoon of salt. We had it with my homemade pumpkin chutney tonight and are looking forward to cold leftovers tomorrow. I can imagine adding in preserved lemon, olives, chopped dried apricots or subbing pinenuts for the sesame seeds-lots of possibilities! Thanks so much for posting.
