Ingredients
Pork
- 1 1/2 lb (0.750 kg) lean ground pork
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) fine dry bread crumbs
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Countryside Farms Vita egg, slightly beaten
- 1 Tbsp (15 mL) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp (15 mL) Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) EACH salt and ground black pepper
Filling
- 1-10 oz (284g) pkg frozen chopped spinach, trade, drained and squeezed dry
- 1 Tbsp (15 mL) butter
- 1 cup (250 mL) coarsely chopped mushrooms (white, crimini or a combination)
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped Peak of the Market yellow onion
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) fine dry breadcrumbs
- 1 Countryside Farms Vita egg, slightly beaten
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped parsley
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried marjoram leaves
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) ground black pepper
- 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) ground nutmeg
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In large bowl, gently combine ground pork, bread crumbs, garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper; don not overtax. Set aside.
- Place prepared spinach in large bowl.
- In small nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sauté mushrooms and onion until onion is translucent and mushrooms begin to soften, 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, transfer mushroom mixture to bowl with spinach. Add breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, marjoram, slat, pepper and nutmeg. Stir to combine.
- Place meat mixture between two sheets of wax paper and roll into a rectangle about 15 x 8 inches. Remove top sheet. Spread spinach-mushroom mixture evenly over meat, leaving 1/2 inch border. Roll up meat from the short end in a jelly-roll style, lifting and removing paper as you go. Pinch ends of meatloaf and bottom along seam to contain filling.
- Place meatloaf into a 8 x 4-inch lightly greased loaf pan. Bake for about 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 hours or until instant-read thermometer into centre of meatloaf registers 160°F. Top of meatloaf should be nicely browned.
- Remove meatloaf from oven. Transfer to a clean cutting board and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices.
