Instead of bread or breadcrumbs, crushed crackers are added to the meatloaf filling, while juicy Swiss chard and golden raisins give the meatloaf a savory, sweet flavor that's perfectly offset by a sweet-tart ketchup-based glaze. Serve the meatloaf as a main course, and use leftovers to make sandwiches.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Swiss chard, crackers, raisins, dill, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, onion, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon ketchup, 1.5 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix with your hands until evenly distributed.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a compact oval loaf, approximately 22 x 12 cm. Bake for 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine apricot jam, soy sauce, ginger, vinegar, and the remaining 1/4 cup ketchup to make a glaze. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush the top and sides with the glaze.
Return the pan to the oven and bake until the glaze begins to caramelize and a thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf registers 160°F (71°C), about 25 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
