Serve this easy meatloaf made with pork, prosciutto and parmesan hot or cold. It's ideal for supper, picnics or to pack in lunchboxes

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

Directions

  • 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.
