Ingredients

  • Olive oil spray

  • 750g lean beef mince

  • 1 cup white breadcrumbs (made from day-old bread)

  • 1 small carrot, peeled and shredded

  • 4 shallots, trimmed, thinly sliced

  • 2 tsp grated ginger

  • 1 tsp Chinese five spice

  • 60ml (1/4 cup) plum sauce

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180C. Spray eight 185-millilitre mini loaf pans with olive oil. Place mince, breadcrumbs, carrot, shallots, ginger, five spice and two tablespoons plum sauce in a large bowl.

    Stir until combined. Divide mixture among the prepared pans and smooth the surface. Brush the tops with remaining plum sauce. Bake for 20 minutes or until juices run clear when a skewer is inserted. Set aside for five minutes before turning out.

    Plan ahead: These mini meat loaves are a great evening meal served warm with mashed potato and salad. The rest can be chilled for the next day, packed with a salad or added to sandwiches.
