Author Notes
Since meatloaf is not a common recipe in Holland (I never had it before, we make meat balls) I was not restricted with any do's, dont's, traditions or restrictions on this one. I combined two things I wanted to try for some time; ketchup and filled vine leafs. When I let my creativity run loose the idea of combining meat with blueberries popped up. Together with the raspberry ketchup, meat and vine leafs, a very tasty combination if I may say so. —Janneke Verheij

Directions
- Raspberry Ketchup
-
Cut the shallots in half and put them in a pan (including the ones for the meat loaf). Cover them with oil, add a bay leaf, all the garlic cloves (also the ones for the meat loaf) and the coriander seeds. Bring the oil to a boil and leave it on your smallest fire until the shallots are soft. Don’t throw the oil away, you can just use it again.
-
In a skillet bake the tomato paste until it smells sweet and add the tomatoes, the vinegar, the Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt and sugar. Also add 4 of the poached garlic cloves and 2 shallots.
-
Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it simmer until the sauce has the desired thickness. Blend it not entirely smooth in your food processor and set aside.
- Meatloaf
-
Clean your food processor, put in the bread and add a little milk to soak it. Add the egg, the remaining shallots, the garlic and the bacon and pulse it into a coarse paste.
-
Add this mixture to the meat and add 3 tablespoons of the ketchup, season with salt and pepper. Mix it good together and as last, carefully mix in the berries.
-
Preheat the oven to 180C / 360F
-
Grease a cake tin and cover with vine leaves. Put the meat in the cake tin, don’t press it to hard so the texture stays a bit loose and cover it with more vine leafs. Cover the leafs with the ketchup and bake on 180C for one hour.
