Meatloaf and Soup in ONE!

[NomesFog]

Has anyone else noticed that after you've steamed your meatloaf you are left with a Ltr or so of stock in the bowl?

I just added some veges and a soupful of vege stock concentrate, blitzed them and cooked it for 15min blitzed it again and...voila...beef and vege soup! I guess you could cook the soup while you're steaming the meatloaf to make it even quicker.
i guess the meat would have to be quite lean otherwise the stock might be oily....

I love Thermie more and more each day

I've never made a meatloaf in my life NomesFog, not traditionally and not in the TMX.  Once day I must have a go and see what we think.  Did you enjoy the steamed meatloaf?  Nice little bonus ending up with some soup too.

Well I must admit, I didn't totally follow the recipe in the EDC book...
I chopped some onion and added mince salt and pepper and mixed them on  for about 10-15 secs speed 4.
Tipped it out onto the chopping board, sort of squished it out into a rectangle, put a couple of lines of greeen olives and a few slices of ham and gently rolled it up, pressing the meat together and into the Varoma.
1Ltr water into TMX
cooked 30mins Varoma speed 2.

I've done a couple of cooked meats recently and I LOVE IT! so juicey and soft, especially things like meatballs that can so easily go dry panfried.

I made some delicious meatballs the other day just by blitzing a peeled green apple and an onion, stirring thru pork mince and rolling them into rissoles and steaming in Varoma...REALLY nice!!

I haven't steamed rissoles before, though I have made the EDC meatloaf and wasn't terribly impressed.

My regular meatloaf would probably go well in the Varoma, must try it! Good idea to use the water to make soup, too!
