For the glaze
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste

Indianized Meatloaf Muffins Directions
- Heat the oven to 350°. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions, zucchini and celery until soft—about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Cool slightly, then add the sautéed vegetables to a large bowl along with grated carrots, ground beef, eggs, grated garlic and ginger, turmeric, crushed chilies, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, pepper, liquid aminos, tomato paste, pepitas and Thai chilies, if using. Mix well with your hands.
- Brush coconut oil inside each well of a muffin tin, then portion out the meatloaf mixture evenly into each of the wells. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes.
- For the glaze: Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl to make a sauce. When the meatloaf has baked for 35 minutes, turn off the heat, take out the muffin tin and spoon the glaze over each muffin. Put the tin back in the oven for another 15 minutes until crusty on top.
Recipe notes
The tablespoon(s) of coconut water in the glaze can be substituted with broth or apple cidar vinegar.
