Ingredients

Meat and binder

  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20)
  • 0.5 lbs ground pork
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 large eggs

Vegetables

  • 1 cup mushrooms, finely minced
  • 1/2 cup zucchini, grated and squeezed dry Be sure to squeeze out excess moisture
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings and glaze

  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1.5 tsp sea salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

Method

Preparation

  • Sauté the finely minced onions, mushrooms, and garlic in a pan with a dash of oil for approximately 5 minutes until soft and excess moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, coconut aminos, and apple cider vinegar to create the mahogany glaze. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, almond flour, eggs, dried oregano, thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and the cooled sautéed vegetable mixture.
  • Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overworking the meat to maintain a tender texture.
  • Transfer the mixture into a 9×5 inch loaf pan or shape into a loaf on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread the prepared glaze evenly over the top.

Cooking

  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
