This is our local version of meatloaf using the simplest ingredients. I prefer wrapping it in foil for easy handling rather than the traditional method of using hog casings. May be kept in freezer for 2 weeks, thaw and warm before serving. Ingredients:
2 1/2 lbs lean ground pork |
1 large white onion, minced |
1 cup red capsicum, minced |
1 pc egg |
4 pcs hard-boiled eggs, cut into 4 strips each |
1/2 cup raisins |
1 cup tomato sauce |
2 tbs soy sauce |
1 cup bread crumbs |
1/2 cup pickle relish |
1 tsp iodised salt |
1 tsp ground black pepper |
tomato catsup (optional) |
foil |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients except hard-boiled eggs in a large mixing bowl.
2. Lay out about 3-4 cups of mixture onto foil.
3. Arrange to form a large sausage-shaped mixture.
4. Flatten and lay out strips of hard-boiled eggs.
5. Form into a big roll then cover entirely with foil and seal.
6. Place in a large steamer, one on top of another.
7. Steam rolls for at least 1hour.
8. Check steamer, add water if necessary.
9. Cool before putting inside chiller.
10. Slice into 1/2 inch thick, served cold or heated in pan with a little oil.
11. Use tomato catsup as dip or use drippings added with a little cornstarch for gravy.
