Tomato and Avocado Meatloaf is one of those magical dishes that allow varying flavors to blend without overpowering each other. In fact, it is hard to believe that you are eating a humble meatloaf.
This recipe also uses mushrooms. I like to use 50% wild mushrooms, but you can pick from any varieties that suit your taste.
Cooking tip Drain the meatloaf midway through the cooking period to avoid boiling in the juices. Submitted by David McCarthy, Australia
