Meat Loaf
6 - 8 servings
INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, peeled and diced
1/2 pound mushrooms, trimmed and finely chopped
3 large cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme

METHOD
1 In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil.
2 Sauté the onion until translucent, about 8 minutes.
