Leftovers, consisting of “Dad’s meatloaf” with mashed potatoes and collard greens.
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Shopping: none
This meatloaf, a recipe we’ve adopted from Tyler Florence, is now our favorite. The loaf itself consists of ground beef and ground pork with eggs, bread crumbs soaked in milk and a wicked relish made of red bell pepper, onion, tomato, ketchup and Worcesterhire sauce. Some of the relish is reserved for dressing the meat on the plate.
The loaf is shaped on a baking sheet, then topped with more of that relish and strips of Black Forest bacon. It’s smokey delicious.
The collards were cooked in a smoked turkey neck broth and seasoned at the table with cider vinegar. I can hardly imagine a more decadent lunch.


We are engaging the concerns of a hungry planet--slowly--right here in our kitchen garden in the District of Columbia, about a mile from the White House.
