Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine bread and stock; let stand until liquid is absorbed.
Meanwhile, pulse mushrooms, onion, carrot, celery and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add mushroom mixture; cook and stir until tender and liquid is evaporated, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook 1 minute longer. Cool slightly.
Add next seven ingredients and cooked vegetables to bread mixture; mix thoroughly. Place a 12x7-inch piece of foil on a rack in a foil-lined rimmed baking pan. Transfer meat mixture to the foil and shape into a 10x6-inch loaf.
Bake 1 hour. Mix together glaze ingredients; spread over loaf. Bake until a thermometer reads 160°F, about 15 to 25 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
Freeze option: Shape meat loaf on a plastic wrap-lined baking sheet; wrap and freeze until firm. Remove from pan and wrap securely in foil; return to freezer. To use, unwrap meat loaf and bake as directed, increasing initial baking time to 2 hours.
Mix together glaze ingredients; spread over loaf. Bake until a thermometer inserted in center reads 160°F, 15 to 25 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
