Preparation

Step 1

step 1

ingredients 2 large Yellow Onions (diced)
1 pound Cremini Mushrooms (sliced)
3 large Shallots (diced)
1 tablespoon Garlic (chopped)
1 tablespoon Adobo Seasoning

instructions For the Onion/Mushroom Mix: In a large, heavy bottomed skillet, cover base with olive oil, add onions, mushrooms and shallots and allow to simmer before adding spices. When onions start to get translucent, add the spices, and continue to cook on medium to low heat until onions begin to caramelized around the edges—this can take from 15 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the burner and the pan you are using. Stir often.

step 2

ingredients

instructions When the mix is golden, divide into three parts; 2 cups, 1.5 cups and 1.5 cups. Set aside to use in the rest of the recipes.

step 3

ingredients 2-3 pounds Golden Yukon Potatoes
1 1/2 cups sauteed Onion/Mushroom Mix
1 tablespoon Adobo Seasoning
1 cup Beef or Vegetable Broth
chopped Garlic to taste

instructions For the Mashed Potatoes: Boil the potatoes, with skin, until tender, rinse with cold water, slip skins off with knife under cold water. Mash potatoes to your desired consistency with the sautéed onion mix, broth and seasonings. Set aside.

step 4

ingredients 2 pounds Kosher Chopped Beef (choice of cut)
1/2 cup Matzoh Meal
1/2 cup Ajvar (Croatian/Serbian combination of roasted mashed eggplant and sweet peppers)
6 ounces Tomato Paste
1 1/2 cups sauteed Onion/Mushroom Mix
1/2 cup Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 cup Jalapeno (finely diced)
3 Eggs
2 tablespoons chopped Garlic
Salt and Pepper

instructions For the Meatloaf Mix: Combine all the ingredients. If you feel that the mix is too loose, add a little more matzoh meal. Shape into a flat layer, about 3/4-inch thick. Place mashed potato mix on top, and fold into a loaf. Shape with your hands on a baking dish, cover with foil and bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 60 to 75 minutes. Test for doneness.

step 5

ingredients 2 cups sauteed Onion/Mushroom Mix
2 tablespoons Jarred Mushroom Soup Mix
2 cups Beef Broth
1/4 cup Worcestershire Sauce
1-2 teaspoons Corn Starch
Salt and Pepper

instructions For the Brown Gravy: Put onion/mushroom mix in a heavy bottom skillet and heat slowly until it sizzles, add mushroom soup mix, worcestershire, and beef broth, stir constantly, add small amount of corn starch to thicken, if needed and season with salt and pepper.
