Step 1

Defrost frozen meat in the refrigerator the day before you plan to cook the meatloaf.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 F (177 C).

Step 3

Wash and finely chop the parsley leaves and fine stems. Discard any woody stems.

Step 4

Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.

Step 5

Add the ground meats, garlic, onion, parsley, eggs, breadcrumbs, shredded carrot, and spices to a mixing bowl. Mash and mix the ingredients to form a paste.

Step 6

Shape the mixture into a free-form loaf on a sheet tray or press it into a loaf pan. Bake until the meat is fully cooked, about 45 minutes. Use a kitchen thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 160 F (71 C).

Step 7

Let the loaf cool for 10 minutes, then slice into strips about the thickness of two adult fingers pressed together. Set aside a strip for baby and season yours with salt to taste. Keep warm while baby's meatloaf cools.
