Devilish Sicilian Meatloaf Platter with Spicy Marsala Drizzle

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, eggs, Sechuan chili flakes, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.

3. 3

   Mix all ingredients thoroughly by hand or with a spatula until well combined, but do not overmix.

4. 4

   Shape the mixture into a loaf (about 20cm long) and place it on the prepared baking tray.

5. 5

   Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the meatloaf.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F) and the top is nicely browned.

7. 7

   While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the spicy Marsala drizzle: In a small saucepan, combine Marsala wine and maple syrup. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let it reduce by half, about 8-10 minutes, until slightly thickened.

8. 8

   Once the meatloaf is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

9. 9

   Slice the meatloaf and arrange on a platter. Drizzle generously with the spicy Marsala reduction.

10. 10

    Garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.
