Anyone every tried it? Americans make weird things huh. I’d love to do a full thanksgiving with a yank fam just to experience the fights over who brought the best Mac and cheese too…

What is it?

Bread, spam, somewhere in between?

Just think of a pork lemon drizzle cake…

Ingredients

2 slices fresh white bread, crusts removed

500g pack minced pork

1 onion, roughly chopped

1 garlic clove, roughly chopped

big handful of parsley

1 tbsp fresh chopped oregano or 1 tsp dried

4 tbsp freshly grated parmesan

1 egg, beaten

8 slices prosciutto

Method

STEP 1

Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Put bread in processor and blitz to make crumbs, then tip into a bowl with the pork.

STEP 2

Tip the onion, garlic and herbs into the food processor and process until finely chopped. Add to the bowl with the parmesan and egg. Finely chop 2 slices of the prosciutto and add to the mix with some salt and pepper. Mix well with a fork or your hands.

STEP 3

Use the rest of the prosciutto to line a 1.5 litre loaf tin. Spoon in the meatloaf mix and press down well. Flip the overhanging prosciutto over the top, then put the loaf tin into a roasting tray.

STEP 4

Pour hot water from the kettle into the roasting tray to come halfway up the loaf tin and bake for 1 hr until loaf shrinks from the sides of tin.

STEP 5

Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then drain off any excess liquid and turn out onto a board. Cut into thick slices and serve warm or cold with salad.

RECIPE TIPS

MAKE IT LOWER FAT

You can halve the fat content by making this with minced chicken or turkey.

Recipe from Good Food magazine, September 2006

My mum used to make it when I was a child, and we make it sometimes as well. Just find a recipe that you like the sound of. There's not just one way to make it

I guess you just whack any old meat in it. It’s not called chicken loaf or pork loaf…
