Cocoa Krispies Crusted Meatloaf With Asparagus Salad Recipes

RAW ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH WALNUTS & PARMESAN

Steps:

• Place day-old bread in the food processor and whiz until fine. Measure out 1.5 to 2 cups of crumbs. Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the crumbs and the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crumbs are golden brown. This could take 5 to 15 minutes (or longer) depending on your heat level. If you have the time, go slowly to prevent burning. When the crumbs are nice and golden, turn off the heat. Let cool briefly. Taste. Add more salt if necessary. Measure out 1/3 cup of the crumbs - this is the amount the original recipe calls for. You can use more if you wish.
• Place the walnuts in a medium skillet. Set the skillet over low heat. Allow the walnuts to toast slowly while you prepare the salad. Remove them from the heat when they smell and look toasty. You can chop them on a cutting board or by gently crushing them in a tea towel.
• Using a sharp knife, slice the asparagus thinly on the bias.
• In a large bowl, combine the toasted walnuts, the 1/3 cup (or more!) toasted bread crumbs, the grated Parmigiano Reggiano, the crushed red pepper flakes (starting with 1/4 teaspoon if you are sensitive to heat), salt and pepper to taste, and the zest of the lemon. Stir to combine. Add the asparagus and toss to combine. "Taste and dial in the flavors by adding more salt, black pepper, chile flakes, or lemon juice. When the flavors are bright and delicious, add the mint (if using) and 1/4 cup olive oil." Toss to combine. Taste and adjust the flavors again if necessary.
• Transfer to a serving platter. Crack more pepper over top if you wish.

SALMON EN PAPILLOTE WITH PAPAYA, MANGO, AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, gently toss the salmon fillets with the zest and juice of 1 lemon, lime zest, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Place 1 salmon fillet in the middle of a piece of parchment paper and top each fillet with equal parts chopped pepper and chopped cilantro. Fold in 2 sides of the parchment paper, then fold in the other sides so that all the edges meet at the top, then twist the edges together to seal. Wrap each piece into a little package. Place the packages onto a sheet pan and cook in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, to assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, avocado, papaya, mango, and fennel. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, remaining lemon juice, Anaheim pepper, and sesame and poppy seeds. Season the salad with salt, and pepper, to taste. Pour the dressing over the fruit and greens and toss to coat.
• Remove the salmon filets from the parchment and serve each filet on top of a mound of salad.

COCOA KRISPIESANDTRADE;-CRUSTED MEATLOAF WITH ASPARAGUS SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix together the pork, bread crumbs, green onions, egg, mustard, garlic, and salt until just combined. Divide the meat mixture into 2 equally proportioned small loaves and roll them in the ground KELLOGG'S COCOA KRISPIES. Transfer the meatloaf to an oiled baking sheet and cook in the oven, for about 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F.
• Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the asparagus. Drain and let cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and sesame seeds. Season with salt, and pepper, to taste. Toss the asparagus beans, yellow pepper, and cherry tomatoes together in the dressing. Season with salt, and pepper, if needed.
• Remove the meatloaves from the oven and serve with the asparagus salad on the side.

CRUSTY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix the beef with half of the egg whites. Soften the oats in the wine and add them to the meat along with the garlic, onion, milk, tomato paste, parsley and thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Shape the mixture into two loaves. Place them on a rack in a shallow baking pan that will hold them without crowding.
• Mix the bread crumbs with the remaining egg whites and frost the loaves all over with this mixture. Bake about 1 1/2 hours, until the loaves are crusty and brown. Serve at once or allow to cool, then refrigerate. The loaves can be reheated -- whole or sliced -- in a conventional oven or a microwave oven or sliced and used for sandwiches.
