INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, use your
hands to gently but thoroughly combine the ground chicken, rice, beans,
scallions, bread crumbs, lime juice, jalapeños, garlic, lime peel, thyme,
sage, allspice, cayenne, cinnamon and egg.
2. In a 13-by-9-inch baking pan, shape the mixture into a 9-by-5-inch loaf,
or pat it into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, smoothing the top. In a small
saucepan or in a microwave oven, heat the jelly until melted, then spread
it over the top of the loaf.
3. Bake until the loaf is firm, the top is richly browned and a meat
thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 160 degrees F,
about 1 hour. Let the meatloaf stand in the pan for 10 minutes before
slicing to serve.
Leftovers Make sandwiches on Italian bread spread with mayonnaise mixed
with a little jalapeño jelly. Add shredded lettuce or sprouts.
NOTES : The hot and spicy mix of seasonings that comprises a traditional
jerk marinade or rub enhance meatloaf, too. The starchy rice and beans
temper the peppery heat, but you can also vary the amount of jalapeños and
cayenne according to your taste, then team the meatloaf with a cooling
salad that highlights tropical fruits. The Author said on Good Morning
America this morning that you could subsutite lean ground beef or pork in
this recipe.
