How to Speed Up Dinner Prep

Method

  • Preheat oven to 180°C, with a rack in the middle of the oven.

  • Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a large, frying pan on medium heat. Add onion, celery, and 3 cloves garlic (minced) and cook for 5 minutes. Add carrots, cover pan and cook for another 5 minutes, until carrots are tender, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. Add Worcestershire and tomato sauce. Cook for another minute and remove from heat to cool.

  • Once the vegetables have cooled to the touch, place them in a large bowl with mince, sausages, eggs, breadcrumbs and parsley. Use your hands to mix them together until everything is evenly distributed.

  • Place meatloaf mixture into a loaf pan (12cm x 22cm) and press down.

  • Bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes. Then use a spatula to gently lift the meatloaf out of the loaf pan to a serving plate.

  • To make the smashed potatoes: Boil potatoes for 8 minutes. Drain and cool for 10 minutes. Mash roughly. Heat oil in a frying pan. Add 1 Tbsp butter, 2 cloves garlic crushed and potatoes and fry until golden and crispy.

  • Serve the meatloaf with smashed potatoes, steamed beans and tomato sauce.

  • Tip: To make fresh breadcrumbs place a couple slices of bread in a food processor and pulse until you have crumbs.
