Saturday: Meatloaf with pumpkin

This was a recipe from Le Menu : a meatloaf (ground beef and veal brät, shredded pumpkin, onion, garlic, egg, bread crumbs, thyme, rosemary, parsley) served with a pumpkin-nut vinaigrette (diced pumpkin, chopped fresh walnuts, shallots, chives, rapeseed oil, white balsamico).

It was clear from reading the recipe that this was going to be a nice dish. I wasn't remotely disappointed. Again: vinaigrettes make really nice sauces for main dishes.

To go with the meatloaf I did green beans cooked with garlic and a pot of basmati rice.

Of course we had a big green salad as well.
