I mince all kinds of vegetables in the food processor and add them to very
lean ground/minced meat. I use egg, too, partly for texture and partly to
get seasonings all the way through. I add grated cheese for its umami
flavors. I don't then make it into meatloaf, but sautè it in a large pan in
olive oil just until done. I add it to things I am making for the next few
days. Might be a chili, or a soup or whatever. It helps me use up tag ends
of the veg drawer, lightens the meat and I like the flavor, too.
