  • Cilantro Pesto
  • 1 bunch green onion (tops), cut in half
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Tomato Chutney
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 green finger chile, split in half
  • Grilled Onions and Zucchinis
  • 3 small zucchinis, cut in half lengthwise
  • 1 sweet onion, cut into 4 rings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the butter and oil in a saute pan. Sweat the onion and garlic over medium heat, approximately 5 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, and Dijon mustard. Add the ground beef and pork to the bowl, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the onion mixture, toasted coriander seeds, paprika and cilantro stems to the bowl. Carefully fold the ingredients together, do not over mix. Place the meatloaf mixture in a 9-inch by 5-inch pan, tap down the pan to remove any air pockets. Place the meatloaf pan in a baking dish; pour the water inside the baking dish surrounding the meatloaf pan. Bake in the oven for 1 1/2 hours.
To make Cilantro Pesto:
In a blender, place the green onions, cilantro, vinegar, and olive oil. Season the mixture with salt and then puree. Transfer to a bowl.
To make Tomato Chutney:
In a saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and chile, saute until lightly caramelized. Add the chopped tomato, season with salt. Turn the heat to medium high. Add the brown sugar and vinegar. Cook the mixture for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the liquid has evaporated and tomatoes have cooked down. Garnish with cilantro.
To make Grilled Onions and Zucchinis:
Heat the grill. Place the zucchinis and onions on a tray, drizzle with olive oil. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper. Grill the zucchinis until slightly softened, and then remove. Grill the onions until slightly softened, keeping rings intact, and then remove.

    This is an AMAZING recipe............all of my friends are now making it. Because it is quite labor intensive, many of us are making double bathces of the meatloaf & freezing.....saving the pesto and tomatoe chutney for fresh preparation. The only other thing we do differently, is skip the grilled veggies and top with avacado slices.
    For those of you dieting, the pesto is good with cottage cheese instead of oil....a little different. You can also leave out the cream.
    WE LOVE THIS RECIPE......so versatile!

    This is delicious and very easy to prepare! Made awesome meatloaf sandwiches with the leftovers by adding mayo to the pesto and using the jam instead of ketchup. Try this, you'll love it!

    I've made this recipe twice and I ate the leftovers for three days in a row it was so good, although I didn't have any coriander I substituted a little cumin and ground mustard. Fabulous, I highly recommend this recipe.
