Prep time: 15 minutes
Grill time: 18 minutes
Serves: 4
1 large egg, beaten
3/4 cup quick-cook rolled oats
1/2 cup pimiento-stuffed green olives, sliced
1/4 cup parsley, minced
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 pound lean ground organic beef
1/4 cup jalapeno or apple jelly, melted
1/3 cup medium salsa
Toasted bread or pita
1. Heat grill to medium heat. In a medium bowl, combine the egg, rolled oats, olives, parsley, tomato paste and pepper. Add the ground beef and mix well. Form into four 1-inch meat loaves.
2. Grill uncovered for 16 to 18 minutes until meat is no longer pink, turning once. Brush with melted jalapeno jelly (adds sweet-hot flavor) then grill about 2 minutes more.
3. Top with salsa and serve on thin slices of toasted bread or pita with your favorite condiments.
