This fabulous South African version of meatloaf is packed with flavorful staples from the spice drawer, fruit bowl, and pantry. Serve it with rice and tangy cucumber relish or roll it all up in lettuce or cabbage leaves for an incomparably delicious wrap. If you're blessed with leftovers, the meat is delicious crumbled into soups, over salads, or folded into rice or a frittata. It makes a delicious stuffing for hollowed-out sweet bell peppers too. The meat reheats while the peppers bake to perfection.
