½ tsp. ground cumin

½ cup milk

¼ cup fresh parsley, minced

Instructions:
-
1. Soak Family Griller Plank in water for one hour. Make sure it’s fully submerged the whole time.
-
2. At home, mix glaze ingredients. Store in jar in cooler.
-
3. At home, use food processor to combine stuffing, chili powder, black pepper, and cumin. Process until finely chopped. Store in 1-gallon zipper-top bag.
-
4. Build a campfire to create a good bed of coals that will deliver at least 450° F, or set up zone fire in grill for both direct and indirect heat zones.
-
5. Heat olive oil in skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and bell pepper, and cook until onion is soft – about 6-8 minutes – stirring frequently. Add garlic and thyme and cook for 30 seconds.
-
6. Allow to cool slightly, then add to zipper top bag with stuffing mixture.
-
7. Also to that bag, add meat, milk, eggs, parsley, and salt.
-
8. Close the bag and knead carefully until all ingredients are well-mixed.
-
9. After plank has soaked at least an hour, remove from water and spray one side lightly with cooking spray.
-
10. Pour meat mixture onto oiled plank and mold into a loaf diagonally on plank.
-
11. Cover meatloaf and plank with foil so it just laps the edges of plank, but leaves underside exposed to the heat.
-
12. When campfire or grill is ready, place the plank over direct heat for 2-3 minutes until bottom begins to smolder.
-
13. Move the plank to indirect heat and cook for 15 minutes.
-
14. Carefully remove foil and brush meatloaf with glaze. Replace foil and return to indirect heat.
-
15. Cook for another 45-50 minutes until internal temp reaches 155° F.
-
16. Remove from grill. Keep foil in place and let rest for 10-12 minutes.
-
17. Pour or brush on remaining glaze. Garnish with parsley. Slice and serve.
