• 1/2 Bunch of Coriander (15g)
• 1 Can (400g) Black Beans
• 500g Lean Beef Mince
• 1 Can (400g) Plum Tomatoes
• 4 Tablespoons Soured Cream
• Olive Oil
• Sea Salt

• 1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar

How To Make Jamie Oliver Meatloaf

1. Preheat and Prepare Veggies: Turn your oven on to 220°C (428°F). Peel and wedge the red onion, and cut the red peppers into 3cm chunks. Toss them in a baking tray with a tablespoon of olive oil.
2. Roast Veggies: Place the tray in the oven and let the veggies roast for 15 minutes.
3. Mix Meatloaf: While veggies are roasting, finely slice the jalapeños and coriander stalks (save the leaves for later). Drain half of the black beans and mix them in a large bowl with the beef mince, jalapeños, and coriander stalks. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well with your hands and shape it into a loaf.
4. Add Meatloaf to Tray: Take the tray out of the oven and place the meatloaf in the middle of the roasted veggies. Put it back in the oven for another 15 minutes.
5. Final Touches: Remove the tray again, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar around the meatloaf. Add the remaining black beans and plum tomatoes. Stir everything around the meatloaf, and put it back in the oven for the last 15 minutes. Make sure the meatloaf turns golden and is fully cooked.
6. To Serve: Top the meatloaf with dollops of soured cream and sprinkle the saved coriander leaves over it.
