Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 6

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large zucchini, finely diced
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 yellow bell pepper, finely diced
1 small onion, finely diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
8 ounces ground pork
8 ounces ground veal
1 pound ground beef chuck
1 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F.

    Step 2

    Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, onion, and salt and pepper to taste, and cook until almost soft, 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of the red pepper flakes, and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and let cool.

    Step 3

    Whisk the eggs, parsley, and thyme together in a large bowl. Add the pork, veal, beef, bread crumbs, cheese, 1/2 cup of the ketchup, the 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and the cooled vegetables, and mix until just combined. Mold the meatloaf into a 12-inch-long, 6-inch-wide loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Step 4

    Whisk the remaining 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes together in a small bowl, and then brush the mixture over the entire loaf. Bake the meatloaf for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until cooked through. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
