Ingredients  

  • 2 Lbs ground chicken
  • 1 large or 2 small sweet potatoes - (cut into 2” chunks)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 3-4 cloves garlic - (peeled)
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger - (peeled & roughly chopped)
  • 3-4 scallions - (roughly chopped)
  • 2 Tbsp curry powder - (Indian style yellow curry, not the Jamaican style)
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 2 limes - juiced
  • 2 eggs - optional, omit for aip diet
  • Apricot Ginger Sauce
  • 2 Tbps Coconut Aminos - (or soy sauce if soy is ok for you)
  • ½ cup apricot jam - (sweetened with fruit juice)
  • ½ teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a food processor, chop or grate (depending on your attachment blades) the sweet potatoes, spinach, garlic, ginger and scallions in batches.
  • You want small pieces but not a puree. If you don’t have a food processor, you can grate the sweet potatoes and finely chop the remaining ingredients.
  • Put all meatloaf ingredients in a large bowl & mix until well combined. I think using your hands is best to get the mixture combined well… but it is pretty messy!
  • Put your mixture in a standard 9x5 loaf pan and bake for about an hour and 15 minutes or until the internal thermometer reads 165 degrees. If the top starts to brown too much, cover with foil and continue to bake until done. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting & serving to allow juices to get absorbed back into the meat.

For the sauce

  • In a small saucepan, add all ingredients for the sauce and simmer over medium heat until it begins to reduce and get a bit thicker.
  • Keep warm until ready to serve. This sauce has a bit of a kick so you may want to put it on the side so that you can decide how much of it you want in each bite.
