South African Curry Meat Loaf
- 1 cup strongly brewed hot black tea
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
- 2 tbsp. canola oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 tsp. ground turmeric
- 2 tsp. ground coriander
- 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1/2 sp. ground cumin
- 1/2 sp. ground fenugreek (available at Indian Foods Company)
- 1/2 sp. ground black pepper
- 1/4 sp. ground fennel
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 2 tbsp. malt or apple cider vinegar
- 8 oz. ground beef
- 8 oz. ground lamb
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- Heat oven to 350u0b0. Combine tea, raisins, and apricots in a bowl; let sit for 30 minutes. Drain, and reserve 1/3 cup soaking liquid; set both aside. Heat oil in a 12" skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onion; cook until lightly caramelized, about 8 minutes. Add turmeric, coriander, cayenne, cumin, fenugreek, pepper, fennel, and salt; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add reserved soaked fruit and soaking liquid and vinegar; cook until almost all liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl; add beef and lamb, and mix until evenly combined. Transfer meat mixture to a foil-lined baking sheet, and shape into an 8" x 4" loaf; press almonds over top of meat loaf, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat loaf reads 160u0b0, about 40 minutes.
