Angelina’s Polpettone (Angelina’s Meatloaf) | Searching4Zen

Ingredients

• 1 kg (2 lbs) chopped beef, veal and/or pork, in equal amounts
• 100g (3-1/2 oz) grated parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs
• 2 large slices of good bread, preferably homemade, soaked in water, squeezed dry and shredded
• 3-4 clove of garlic, finely minced into the bowl, finely chopped garlic
• A sprig or two of parsley, finely minced
• Salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• A ball of mozzarella or scamorza, sliced
• Potatoes, left whole if small or otherwise peeled or cut into wedges, as many as you like
• A few cherry tomatoes (optional)
• A splash of white wine
• Mix all the ingredients together very well—you’ll need your hands for the job—until you have an evenly amalgmated mixture. Form into an oval loaf.
• If you want to, open up a fairly deep well in the middle of the loaf and add slices of mozzarella or another meltable cheese like scamorza. Close up the well and reform the loaf.
• Now place the loaf in a baking dish.
