Preparation

Preheat the oven at 400°F.
In a big pan at high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and cook the apples, zucchini, shallots and garlic for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in a plate and let cool down for 10 minutes.
In a big bowl, add the apple mix along with the rest of the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper then mix well using your hands.
Line a muffin baking tray with parchment baking cups and fill the holes with the meat mix. The recipe gives about 16 mini meat loaves. Place in the oven on a big sheet of aluminium paper (otherwise the fat will drip everywhere and you will test your smoking alarm) and cook for 20-25 minutes, until meat is cooked and nicely golden on top. Serve with a potato and carrot purée!
