Method

  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. 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.
  2. 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. 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.
  3. 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.

    I've been using this receipe since Sept 2006 and my two boys, aged 3 & 5, love it! My eldest son has an egg allergy, so I just leave out the egg and add grated apple for moisture. I've just had to look it up because I can't find my copy.

    This is great - It was nice hot but I preferred it cold. Well worth making.

    I made this yesterday and it was really tasty. I changed and added other things because looking at the ingredients thought it might be a bit bland. I used smoked streaky bacon and added dried coriander and a bit more garlic and more parmesan cheese. The result was 'a lot tastier'. I will definately make it again.

    I've never really liked meatloaf, so when my neighbour made this recipe a few weeks ago and I had a leftover slice in a sandwich the next day I was amazed at how delicious it was - so much so that I made it for my family as part of Easter Sunday lunch, in fact I made 2 because I knew it could be popular and indeed it was! Really easy, incredibly tasty and very versatile. Will definitely make again.

    My 1st time making meatloaf. My husband thought it was tasty! The parsley really brought out the flavour of the pork and I added more oregano. Easy to make. I am not a meat fan and thought it was quite good, too.

    Just had this for my dinner and it was absolutely beautiful! Took about 5 mins to prepare then left it in the oven for an hour - easy! I added a bit more parmesam (about 6 tbsp) and 2 cloves of garlic, and used streaky bacon. It was lovely - I;m looking forward to having some tomorrow for lunch!

    Loved it! Very easy to put together. I used a little extra garlic and think next time i'll use a bit more cheese. Would like to try it with turkey mince too. Served it with sauteed leeks and cabbage, mash and gravy. Was also great the next day cold in a crusty roll for lunch!

    This always goes down a treat as a starter or main. Sometimes I use smoked bacon instead of proscuitto.

    This was gorgeous!! I used streaky bacon round the outside, and used a bit more parmesan and garlic. Had some in a sandwich the next day and the meatloaf was just as moist as was the night before. Will most definately be making this again!

    After reading all the comments - I let mine cool and served it with a salad and herby new potatoes. The flavours intensify the next day and is ideal for picnics, lunchboxes or just snacking on. I used smoked streaky bacon instead of prosciutto.

    I have done this recipe again and again. It is wonderful warm with a salad, almost better cold, and a fantastic sandwich filler. It freezes brilliantly (a great standby for impromtu guests). Really versatile, really delicious.
