Serves an army - of children

This is not a Goyshe meatloaf, it is a true Yiddishe meatloaf - flavor galore. If you get a slice with the egg then you get one wish - yes, you can get another slice, but only if there is any left after the locusts do their work...

Ima says that these days she doesn't do it in the pressure cooker. In the "good old days" she needed to get everything done before going to work, so the pressure cooker was the only way that made sense. Also today she adds some white wine - to the sauce I guess.



Ingredients:

Meat loaf:
1 Kg. ground meat
3 Tbs. onion soup mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup Matzo meal
some Ground pepper
some Chopped Parsley
some Crushed garlic
3 Hard boiled eggs – peeled
Sauce:
2 onions chopped
1 Tbs oil
1 small can Tomato paste and equal amount of water
some Garlic- crushed
some Ground pepper
some Oregano



Preparation:

Preparation of Sauce: 
  1. Fry onions in oil in an open pressure cooker
  2. Add rest of the sauce Ingredients.
  3. Cook a little.
Preparation of meat loaf: 
  1. Mix all ingredients together (except Hard boiled eggs)
  2. Form into loaf
  3. Push into the loaf the Hard boiled eggs
  4. Put into sauce in pressure cooker
  5. Cook for about 20 minutes on pressure.
