Individual Meat Loaves With Thyme Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb potatoes
1 None bread roll (slightly stale is best)
1 lb mixed ground meat (pork, veal, beef etc)
1 None onion
1 None medium egg
1 pinch paprika
2 tsp mixed dried herbs
1/4 cup ricotta cheese
2 cup spinach leaves, cut into strips
2 None large tomatoes, seeds removed and cut into small cubes
3 tbsp oil
3 sprigs thyme

Preparation

Cook the potatoes in boiling, salted water for 20 minutes, then drain, rinse in cold water and drain again in a colander. Set aside to cool.
Soak the bread roll in a bowl of cold water, then squeeze out the water, and roughly chop. In a large bowl, combine the chopped bread, ground meat, onion, egg, paprika, and the dried herbs and mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. Grease a 12-portion muffin pan, then press the meat mixture into the hole, pressing a hollow into the middle to create a nest shape. Cook in a preheated oven at 400\u00b0F for about 10 minutes.
Crumble the ricotta into a bowl, then stir in the spinach strips and the chopped tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove the meat loaves from the oven and spread the cheese mixture over the top, pressing down into the hollow. Return to the oven and cook for another 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the cooled potatoes into slices. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and saute the potatoes, turning, until they are golden on all sides. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
Serve the meat loaves on a plate with some thyme potatoes on the side.
