fremgangsmåte
 

  • Place the ground beef, chopped apricots, diced onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, paprika, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
  • Mix everything with your hands or a spoon until the ingredients are evenly distributed and no streaks of spice remain.
  • Shape the mixture into a compact loaf about 8 inches long and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • If freezing for later, wrap the uncooked loaf tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil and store in the freezer.
  • When ready to cook, thaw the loaf overnight in the refrigerator if frozen, then bake at 375 degrees F for 50 to 60 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Chop the apricots into small pieces so they release moisture evenly throughout the loaf during baking. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the cinnamon by half. For best freezer results, shape the loaf on a parchment-lined sheet before wrapping so it holds its form when thawed.
