Meat loaf with built-in veggies

Great when you want to entice kids to eat healthily.

Ingredients >   2 Tbsp olive oil >   3 medium courgettes, grated >    2 large carrots, peeled and grated >   1 medium onion, chopped >   4 cloves of garlic, crushed >    650 gm minced beef >   75 gm breadcrumbs >   Up to 120 ml soy/regular milk (if required) >   1 egg >   1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce >   1 Tbsp ketchup >   ½ rounded Tbsp chicken soup powder >    Salt and pepper

Steps 1.    Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok and fry the vegetables on medium heat. 2.    Light the oven at 180°C. 3.    Put all the remaining ingredients (not including the liquid) in a large bowl and mix thoroughly together. I find it best to use my hands. 4.    Add the cooked ingredients with their liquid and mix again. If necessary add a bit more liquid. The idea is to have a total of 100-120 ml liquid. 5.    Put the mixture into a large loaf tin and level the surface. 6.    Put into the oven and bake for 1 ½ hours. 7.    Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf stand for 5 mins at room temperature. 8.    Pour off the excess fat. Goes great with potato salad and green bean salad. Serves 4
