Irish Meat Loaf Recipes

IRISH MEATLOAF WITH CABBAGE CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix together the ground beef, lamb, white pudding, Cheddar, Montreal seasoning, granulated onion, pepper, basil, curry powder, oregano, salt, eggs and onions until well mixed. Add the breadcrumbs and mix well. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Shape into a log.
• On a baking sheet, put some large cabbage leaves down for the meatloaf to cook on. Place some celery sticks on top of the meatloaf (to keep the aluminum foil off of the top of the meatloaf), cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake to let it crisp up, about 15 minutes more.
• Slice and serve with the Cabbage Cream Sauce on the side.
• Heat a medium pot and add the oil. Brown the garlic, and then add the cabbage and saute until translucent. Deglaze the pot with the sherry, and then simmer until reduced by about half. Add the heavy cream and reduce by half again. Add salt and pepper to taste. Fold in the butter and serve hot.

IRISH PUB MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium size skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the celery, onion, carrot and garlic; season with salt and pepper and sauté to soften, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour in the beer and stir. Let the beer reduce by half. Turn off the heat and let cool.
• Meanwhile, soak the bread in milk and finely chop the corned beef. Place the corned beef and ground beef in a bowl and add the cheese. Wring out the bread and add it to the meat, crumbling it over the bowl. Pour in the beer mixture. Season with salt, pepper, mustard, cayenne and Worcestershire sauce. Add the eggs and mix with your hands.
• Form the meat into a brick about 4 inches high on the baking sheet. Wrap the bacon slices across the top and around sides of the loaf. Bake for 1 hour in the middle of the oven, then switch on the broiler for about 5 minutes to crisp the bacon.
