From the Test Kitchen

We’re putting a delicious twist on this pork meatloaf by baking it with an irresistible topping of tangy-sweet ketchup mixed with spicy Calabrian chile paste (a specialty product made of fragrant red chiles from Calabria, a region in southern Italy). A simple side of tender roasted carrots and potatoes—tossed with a bright lemon-caper dressing—finishes the dish on a vibrant note.

Prepare & roast the vegetables
1 Prepare & roast the vegetables

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the potatoes. Peel the carrots; quarter lengthwise, then halve crosswise. Transfer the prepared vegetables to a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 21 to 23 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

Meanwhile, peel 2 cloves of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, zest the lemon to get 1 teaspoon. Quarter and deseed the lemon. Roughly chop the capers. In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, chopped capers, the juice of 2 lemon wedges, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. In a separate bowl, combine the ketchup and as much of the chile paste as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.

Form & bake the meatloaf
3 Form & bake the meatloaf

Line a separate sheet pan with foil; evenly coat the center of the foil with a drizzle of olive oil. In a large bowl, combine the pork, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic paste, breadcrumbs, and half the cheese; season with salt and pepper. Gently mix to combine. Transfer to the oiled portion of the sheet pan. Shape into a tightly packed loaf, about 7 inches by 3 inches. Transfer half the spicy ketchup to a separate bowl and set aside for serving. Evenly top the meatloaf with the remaining spicy ketchup. Roast 16 to 18 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.* Remove from the oven and let rest at least 2 minutes.
