Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190 °C (170 °C fan).
  2. Soak the stale bread in lukewarm milk for 10 minutes, then gently squeeze out the excess.
  3. Chop the onion and garlic very finely, then fry them in the oil for 3 minutes, until soft.
  4. In a large bowl, mix the minced meat, soaked bread, egg, onions and garlic, mustard, parsley and spices. Knead well by hand for about 2 minutes, until you have a smooth mixture.
  5. Shape a long loaf on a tray lined with baking paper, then lay the bacon rashers over the top if using.
  6. Bake for 50 minutes, until the core temperature reaches 70 °C. Baste once during cooking with the juices that form.
  7. Let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting into thick slices. Serve with potatoes and green beans.

Variations and tips

Light version. Replace the pork with lean beef and the bacon with a few cherry tomatoes placed on top.

For the next day. The loaf is delicious cold, cut into thin slices on country bread with gherkins.
