Mini Pork, Apple and Sage Meatloaves

Mini Pork, Apple and Sage Meatloaves
Coverted recipe originally published in AWW Feb 2011.

Ingredients
1 small onion, peeled and quartered
2 cloves garlic, peeled
80g celery, cut into chunks
1 medium (150g) green apple, peeled and cored
2 teaspoons EVOO
500g pork and veal mince
70g frozen bread (approx. 2 slices) broken into large chunks
1 tablespoon fresh sage
1 egg
12 thin slices prosciutto (or thin bacon rashers, streaky end only)
1/2 small green apple extra, cored and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons apple jelly or redcurrant jelly or quince jelly, warmed in microwave until runny

Method
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan forced).
Place bread slices and sage leaves into TMX and mill 10 seconds, speed 6.
Remove from bowl and set aside.
Place onion, garlic, celery and apple into TMX and chop 5 seconds, speed 5.
Add oil and saute 8 minutes, Varoma, speed 1, until most of liquid is evaporated. Check after 5 minutes and continue if needed.
Set aside to cool if time permits (I don't think this is necessary and don't bother).
Add mince, breadcrumb/sage mixture, egg and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix 10-15 seconds, speed 5.
Divide mixture into 4 even portions and shape into a log.
Wrap prosciutto (3 slices per log) around the logs, alternating with extra apple slices. (I like to lay out three slices of prosciutto on bench, with edges overlapping, then lay one row of apple, place log on top of apple and roll up).
Place meatloaves onto a tray lined with baking paper and brush with jelly.
Bake for 30 minutes, brushing halfway through cooking with the remaining jelly, or until cooked through.
Serve with extra jelly and a salad if desired.

JulieO - we loved them.  I sauteed the onion, apple & celery in a frypan then scraped them into the TM to finish the mixing.  I tried melting the quince paste I made a few months ago but that wasn't successful.  Luckily I had a jar of redcurrant jelly in the fridge so used that and it worked a treat. Served with mash, cauli & cheese sauce and steamed carrots, broccoli and green beans.  Was very good, will keep the recipe.  Thanks Kimmy.

SuzieG - I made this tonight, absolutely beautiful. Made lots of mixture, I got 6 logs out of mine. Will make again!

These look lovely, do you think they would translate well to being served cool at a family Christmas picnic?  maybe with some spiced apple sauce?

[Kimmyh]

Lol GF.
Yes they are nice cold but I would cut them into thick slices to serve and would definitely need a sauce or extra jelly to serve.
