Instructions

  1. Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk for five minutes, then mash them to a soft paste.
  2. Fry the chopped onion and garlic in the oil until translucent, about 6 minutes, then leave to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the meat, eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, mustard and spices.
  4. Knead quickly without overworking the meat, then shape into a loaf about 25 cm long.
  5. Place it in an oiled dish and bake at 180 °C for 60 to 75 minutes, basting with its juices every 20 minutes.
  6. For the sauce, fry the small diced onion in a little fat, sprinkle with flour, then add the stock.
  7. Stir in the tomato purée and simmer for ten minutes, then add the sour cream off the heat.
  8. Let the loaf rest for ten minutes before slicing, and serve with the sauce and mashed potatoes.

Variations and tips

Hard-boiled egg version. Insert two peeled hard-boiled eggs into the centre of the loaf before baking for a decorative and indulgent effect.
