Moroccan Meatloaf - Loafing Around image

This is a healthier take on a classic dish. The meat quanity has been reduced and replaced with kumara (sweet potato) and burghul wheat. Low GI and delicious. I used beef mince and the taste was fine. Time to make does not include soaking time for burghul.

I've made this meatloaf with both ground beef and ground turkey. It's delicious either way.

This meatloaf is a bit spicy, but in a good way. If you don't like spicy food, you might want to reduce the amount of harissa paste.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I substituted parsley in this recipe. It still turned out great!

The only thing I would change is to use a little less salt. Otherwise, this recipe is a keeper!
