In a large skillet, heat the oil then stir-fry onion, garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme salt and pepper for about 2-3 minutes or the onions are translucent but not turning brown.

Great recipe! I liked that the onions were sauteed before adding to the meatloaf mixture. I prefer the texture and flavor. The meatloaf was very moist (it did fall apart a little when cutting it) and full of flavor. Definitely a keeper!
