Directions:
|
- Line a large 26x12x7cm loaf tin with plastic wrap, leaving the plastic overhanging at each end (enough to cover the loaf).
- Place the proscuitto, onion, parmesan cheese,eggs,tomato paste, worcestershire sauce, garlic, parsley, dried herbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt into the bowl of a food processor and pulse to form a thick paste.
- Spoon the paste into a large mixing bowl, then add the breadcrumbs, mince and grated zucchini.
- Using clean hands, squeeze and mix the ingredients until fully combined.
- Transfer the mixture into the tin, pushing down firmly to make a solid loaf.
- Fold over the excess plastic wrap to cover and then refrigerate for a few hours for the flavours to develop.
- When ready to bake preheat the oven to 180 degrees and grease a baking tin.
- Uncover the meatloaf and flip it over into the baking tray, then remove the loaf tin and discard the plastic wrap.
- Bake the meat loaf for about 70 minutes, or until well browned and the juices run clear when the loaf is pierced with a skewer.
- Wrap in a double layer of foil to keep warm while you make the gravy.
- To make the gravy, pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the baking tin, then stir in the cornflour and cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in 375ml water, stirring to loosen the tasty brown bits on the bottom of the tin, then continue stirring until the sauce thickens.
- Blend in the tomato paste, season with salt and pepper and strain into a gravy boat.
- Carve the meatloaf into thick slices and serve smothered in gravy, with mashed potatoes, baked pumpkin and peas.
