Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the onion until you have ½ cup (1 cup for 4); dice remaining onion until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4). Roughly chop parsley. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Trim and thinly slice radishes. Halve tomatoes. Zest and quarter lemon. • Fill a small bowl with ice water; add sliced onion and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine diced onion, pork*, panko, stock concentrate, half the parsley, 1 tsp harissa powder (2 tsp for 4 servings), salt (we used ¾ tsp; 1 ½ tsp for 4), and pepper. (You'll use the rest of the harissa powder later.) • Form into two 1-inch-tall loaves (four loaves for 4).
• Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, 2 tsp harissa powder (4 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Place meatloaves on empty side of sheet. (For 4, spread potatoes out across entire sheet; put meatloaves on a second sheet. Roast potatoes on top rack and meatloaves on middle rack.) • Roast on top rack until potatoes are browned and tender and meatloaves are cooked through, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, drain sliced onion. Return to bowl. • Add radishes, tomatoes, lemon zest, sumac, remaining parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, juice from half the lemon, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
• In a second small bowl, combine marinara, remaining harissa powder, 1 TBSP water, a drizzle of olive oil, juice from one lemon wedge, a large pinch of sugar, salt, and pepper (2 TBSP water and juice from two lemon wedges for 4 servings).
• Divide meatloaves, potato wedges, and tomato-onion salad between plates. Spoon harissa tomato sauce over meatloaves and serve.
Ground Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
This meal was absolutely amazing. Every element of the dish was very good. The meatloaf had so many wonderful flavors and that harissa sauce was delicious. And the salad... wow. Kudos to the creator of this recipe.
The meatloaf was one of the best things I've ever had from Hello Fresh! Adding harissa to the fries was great too. I didn't love the salad, I would have preferred a cooked veggie. But the pork meatloaf was perfect.
The spice combinations on this were quite popular with my husband. We loved it. The sumac salad with this is delicious and a great healthy side dish.
Delicious! And I especially appreciate that this recipe had marinara sauce instead of ketchup. Made it feel and taste more sophisticated. Plus I hate ketchup! I want to repeat this meal again and again. Maybe with mashed potatoes this time :)
The only complaint I have about this dish was the potatoes come out soggy. If they were nice and crisp, akin to a French fry, I would like them better. Otherwise it was very tasty. We loved the Harissa.
I thought the salad would be good but it was too oniony and needed something-maybe some feta cheese and a little green pepper and less onion? Also, why is the tomato sauce put on cold? Would make more sense to me to put it on in the last five minutes of baking. Potatoes were good
Meatloaf needs garlic. Harissa spice blend needs heat...because actual Harissa paste/sauce has heat.
Love it besides the radishes - wish the potatoes had a different seasoning than harissa bc it's a lot of that - maybe Sumac on salad and potatoes would be better
I was expecting it to be bursting with flavor, but I think the fact that I substituted the pork with turkey might have mellowed out the flavor. But overall, it was quite good!
The salad was good but could use more lemon. The harissa sauce - I recommend adding a measurement for harissa and not just "what's left". I had an entire baggie left and it was too much. The marinara gave the sauce a funky taste.
