Meatloaf
1 small onion or 1/2 large onion
2 cloves garlic
3-4 pieces wheat bread
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 egg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Chop the onion and fry in a little oil until transparent.
While the onion is cooking, break the egg into a bowl. Then pulverize the bread in the food processor and add to the bowl with the egg. Pulverize the cooked onion and the garlic, and add to the bowl. Mix in the remaining ingredients, form into a loaf, and bake.
(This is a very simplified and scaled down recipe, based on the one in Julia Child's The Way to Cook.)
