Make "Dad's Meatloaf" and a "Maple Manhattan" from The Lost Kitchen by Erin French, author of the new memoir Finding Freedom. Show Dad’s MeatloafWhen I was away at college, this is the dish I craved the most. It is my dad’s recipe, one that he taught me how to make in the diner. I put my own spin on it and frequently treat myself to this on chilly nights with a baked potato and sour cream—or, for this more refined version, a bed of magenta slaw or a silky parsnip puree. SERVES 8 FOR THE MEATLOAF 1½ pounds ground beef 1½ pounds ground pork ¾ cup shredded carrot ½ cup chopped shallots ½ cup shredded pecorino 2 cups ½-inch bread cubes, such as crusty sourdough 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves 2 large eggs ½ cup whole milk 2 teaspoons salt 6 to 8 twists of pepper FOR THE GLAZE ½ cup packed light brown sugar ¾ cup ketchup 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Preheat the oven to 375°F. START THE MEATLOAF: Combine all of the meatloaf ingredients in a large bowl and use your hands to mix them until just evenly combined. Do not overmix. Divide the mixture between two 9 × 5-inch loaf pans. MAKE THE GLAZE: In a medium bowl, stir together all of the ingredients. Brush the top of each meatloaf with a thick coat of the glaze. Transfer to the oven and bake until an instant-read thermometer reads 150°F, 45 minutes. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 to 15 minutes, then unmold, cut into slices, and serve. Maple ManhattanMAKES 1 COCKTAIL 2 ounces rye whiskey ½ ounce sweet vermouth ½ ounce maple syrup 2 dashes of Angostura bitters Ice Maraschino cherry, for garnish (or liquor-soaked fresh cherries, if you can find them) Combine the whiskey, vermouth, maple syrup, and bitters in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
