Indian-Style Beef Meatloaf with Curry Glaze, Spiced Potato Wedges, and Sautéed Green Beans

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine 500g ground beef, 1 egg, 50g breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon garam masala, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon curry paste, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.

3. 3

   Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a lined loaf pan or on a baking tray.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon curry paste with a splash of water to make a glaze. Brush this over the top of the meatloaf.

5. 5

   Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until cooked through and the top is glazed.

6. 6

   While the meatloaf is baking, cut 400g potatoes into wedges. Toss them with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon turmeric, salt, and pepper.

7. 7

   Spread the potato wedges on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.

8. 8

   Meanwhile, trim 200g green beans. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the green beans, and blanch for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.

9. 9

   Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add a splash of oil if needed, then sauté the green beans for 2-3 minutes until slightly blistered. Season with salt and pepper.

10. 10

    Once everything is cooked, slice the meatloaf and serve with the spiced potato wedges and sautéed green beans. Garnish with 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro.
