Asian Pork Meatloaf

Sky and I recently watched an episode of Alton Brown's "Good Eats," during which he demonstrated the perfect meatloaf. Alton recommended trying a variety of different meats and vegetables, so I went HOG wild with my love of pork.

Ingredients
1 lb. ground pork
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 red onion
1/2 Granny Smith apple
a handful of baby carrots
1 tsp. garlic, minced
a few shakes of ground cayenne pepper
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
store-bought Asian dressing or dipping sauce
(a soy-sesame style would work well here)

Directions
Using Chef Tony's Ultimate Chopper (or a standard food processor), roughly chop onion, carrots and apples. Combine with remaining ingredients and mix gently with your freshly washed hands until everything is distributed evenly. Press meatloaf mixture into loaf pan and then turn over onto a baking sheet (the loaf pan is only a mold). Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until center of meatloaf measures 170 degrees. After about 35-40 minutes, glaze meatloaf with Asian sauce or dressing. Serves 4.
