If you have a food processor, you can pulse the garlic, carrots, onions and celery instead of finely dicing by hand as well as the prunes and parsley, if desired. Or to save even more time, you can buy mirepoix (a mixture of finely diced celery, carrots, and onion) usually sold at Trader Joes, Whole Foods and at many markets. Just don't forget to add the minced garlic.
Prunes are the secret ingredient in this recipe and add sweetness and moisture to the meatloaf. You can also add bacon crumbles for an added salty crunch.
Combine 1/2 can tomato paste, 2 tablespoons honey, and one tablespoon water
and smear over the exposed top part of the meatloaf for an extra delicious tangy crust.
