Ok, I made this for my family last night and made just few tiny adjustments. I did not have almond meal so I ground some almonds and made a fine powder to add. I only used about 1/4 cup of this almond powder. I used a palm full of dried basil (didn't have fresh) I also added fresh parsley (minced).
It was a little dry for my taste. I think when I make this again I will add Braggs Liquid Aminos to moisten it. I might also make a glaze with Worchershire sauce for the outside to create a crust; or perhaps cover in marinara sauce to bake, it just needed a little something extra for me. But all in all, I liked the recipe. I loved her use of tomato paste instead of ketchup, which has soooo much sugar in it.
So leftovers... they would make an amazing base for some meat sauce. Just crumble meatloaf into marinara and serve over some baked spaghetti squash - YUM! Or use in chili, soup, lasagna etc.
Or another idea, is to just bag it up into freezer bags to store for the next time you need some italian style hamburger for a dinner.
Hope you try it out and let me know how you made it. Looking forward to sharing some more of Sarah's recipes soon. If you like them I would highly recommend her cookbook, I have found several recipes I'm looking forward to try.
