Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200C fan. Put a 2lb loaf tin liner or cut a piece of baking paper (20cm x 35cm) on a wire rack inside a baking tray.
In the bowl of a food processor, add the carrot, celery, shallot, garlic and parsley. Pulse a couple of times until the vegetables are minces. Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl along with the breadcrumbs.
To the bowl add meat, mustard powder, ketchup, eggs, salt, pepper and rosemary. The best way to mix is with your hands. Gently mix the ingredients until well combined.
Place the meatloaf mixture onto the baking paper and shape into a freeform slightly flattened loaf.
Put the extra 3 tbsp of ketchup, 1/2 tsp mustard powder and brown sugar in a bowl, stir together and paint onto the top of the meat loaf. Place in the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes. You can test to see if it is cooked through by inserting a temperature probe, the internal temperature should be 70C.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before slicing,
