Ingredients
This zombie hand is actually made out of meatloaf, just in the shape of a hand. If you have some experience in the matter, you will see how it will be a very scary main course for your party:
- 400 grams of mixed minced meat
- 2 slices of sliced bread
- 2 medium eggs
- 1 medium onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 bowl of milk
- Sliced cheese (as needed)
- Barbecue sauce
- Salt
- Pepper
zombie hand preparation
To prepare the zombie hand you just have to make a normal meatloaf, with the only difference that you have to work a little more on the design. Follow our recipe step by step and you will have a dish for your Halloween dinner that no one will forget:
- Peel the onion and wash it a bit before starting to cut it. So, cut a piece of the onion, which will be the wrist bone . Then, you will cut another bit of the head so that it has the shape of a nail . This is reserved for later.
- What you have left over from the onion, as well as the garlic cloves, chop them into very small pieces that you fry in a pan with a little olive oil, until it is golden in color.
- While this is frying, in a bowl, beat the eggs with a little salt and pepper. Add the minced meat . Then dip the sliced bread in the milk , to moisten it and add it to the mixture. The time has come to mix everything, for which we recommend that you use your hands . It will be easier to get a good mix like this.
- Put the oven on, at 180º C , so that it heats up and down while you prepare the zombie meatloaf. In the oven tray spread baking paper and place the mixture.
- Once there, begin to shape it into a hand. To make it easier for you, we recommend that you draw the shape on the baking paper so that you can adapt it more easily. By getting the meat to have the shape of a sauce, you can smear it with the barbecue room.
- Next, the piece of onion that we have previously told you would be a bone is inserted into the wrist area . Put it in the oven for a quarter of an hour.
- After this time, you will see that the meat is a bit compact, so take it out and paint it again with barbecue sauce . On this occasion, the addition will be the slices of cheese , placed carefully so as not to burn and that look like meat. Again paint the hand with barbecue sauce and place the onion nails.
- You have to bake it again, so that the cheese melts, which will take about 5 minutes depending on the type of slice you used. Once melted, take out and repaint with barbecue sauce and bake another couple of minutes so that it has the charred effect. You can heat it up as much as you like, until it has the charred, rotten effect you’re looking for.
- Served with a base of mashed potatoes, and especially served hot, it will become the star dish of any Halloween dinner.
