What is meat bread? Origin of Meatloaf
As I said before, the dish is mainly composed of minced meat and spices. Although meat bread is not a typically African dish, it is very comparable to the Bobotie, originally from South Africa . The recipe is practically the same, it's a bit like a spicy version of Meatloaf, and I actually got inspired by the Bobotie recipe to make my meat bread!
Why I like this meat bread recipe ?
What I love about the recipe is that she is versatile. You can make your meat bread with any minced meat (beef, pork, etc.). You can also serve it hot or savor it cold cut on a sandwich with a little lettuce and tomato. Yumm !!
How to cook your meat bread
Here are some tips that could be useful to you to succeed in your meat bread mad:
- Oven temperature: Cooking at 175 ° C (350 ° F) is ideal for most meat breads, allowing uniform cooking without drying the meat.
- Let stand: after cooking, let the meat bread rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing it. This allows juices to redistribute inside, making the meat bread juicle.
- Do not mix too much: mix the meat with the other ingredients just enough to combine them. Too much handling meat can make bread dense and hard.
5. Use a meat thermometer: The best way to make sure your meat bread is perfectly cooked is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature must reach 70 ° C (160 ° F) to ensure that the meat is well cooked. For those who do not have a thermometer , know that the cooking will last approximately 1 hour or even 1 hour 15 minutes, depending on your oven.
