- 1 whole Carrot peeled and grated
- 1 whole egg beaten
- 80 g breadcrumbs (1 cup) fresh
- 2 cloves garlic crushed

- 80 ml water (1/3 cup)
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients for the meatloaf into a large bowl and mix together with your hands. Season generously with salt and pepper and allow to rest for several hours in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a large roasting dish. With wet hands, mould the meatloaf mixture into a long log and place it in the dish. The thinner (and longer) the log, the more delicious crust you will have. If you prefer, you can make two smaller logs.
- Mix together the ingredients for the glaze and pour it over the meatloaf. Cook for 1 hour, basting often, until glazed and brown.
- Note: To make fresh breadcrumbs, removed the crusts from good-quality white bread or sourdough and process until fine crumbs are formed.
