Low Carb Beef Recipes

Ingredients:

1/2 lb mushrooms, diced
1 butter, as needed
1 salt, to taste
1 freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1 grated nutmeg, to taste
1/2 lb chicken livers
1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 1/2 lb ground pork
1 lb sausage meat
1/2 cup finely-diced onion
3 fat garlic cloves, crushed to a paste
1 tsp ground coriander seeds
1 tsp ground allspice
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme or rosemary
2 eggs
1/2 lb sliced bacon
1 bay leaves, as needed
1 fresh rosemary sprigs, as needed

Instructions:

Sauté the mushrooms in butter until the juices run, then season with salt
and pepper and nutmeg. Reserve.

Remove the sinews from the livers. Lightly poach the livers in simmering
water, just until they turn grey and firm up. Cool and dice.

In a large bowl combine the ground meats, sausage, livers, onion, garlic,
coriander, allspice and thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper, keeping
in mind that the sausage contains salt.

Beat the eggs and add to the mixture together with the mushrooms. Mix with
your hands thoroughly.

Oil a roasting pan and place all the mixture in it, molding it into an oval
shape. Adorn with the bacon slices, criss-crossed, tucking the ends under
the meat. Tuck some bay leaves and branches of rosemary into the bacon.

Cook in a preheated oven at 450 degrees for 15 minutes, then lower the heat
to 350 degrees and cook for 1 1/2 hours.

When cooked, there will be lots of lovely juices in the bottom of the pan.
Save them to flavor soup or stocks, and save the fat to fry eggs. Remove
the loaf and place on a serving dish. Serve hot or cold.

Comments: This meatloaf is adapted from the Two Fat Ladies. They called
it hedgehog, probably because of its shape.

This makes a very pleasantly seasoned meatloaf that is reminiscent in
flavor of a pate. Confirmed liver haters can omit the livers.

This makes one HUGE meatloaf. I like to make two smaller, torpedo shaped
ones or divide the recipe by half and reduce the cooking time by 1/2 hour.
