How it's done

To prepare

Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic, set aside. Cut the bread rolls into cubes, drain the tomatoes and chop them finely, finely chop the parsley, then add everything to the bowl with the meat.

Meatloaf

Heat the butter in a non-stick frying pan. Gently steam the set-aside onions and garlic for about 5 minutes, add to the meat in the bowl, beat the egg, add it together with the cream, season, and knead well by hand until the ingredients combine to form a compact mass.

To shape

Shape the mixture into a roast about 25 cm long.

To fry

Heat the oil in the same pan. Brown the meat all over for approx. 8 mins. Remove the roast and place it in the roasting dish.

Sauce

Pour wine, water and aceto into the frying pan, add veal stock, loosen the browned residue. Pour the sauce into the roasting tin, peel and quarter the onions, and add them.

Roast in the oven

Cover and roast for approx. 30 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 200 °C. Remove the lid. Bake for a further 15 mins.

Potatoes

Peel the potatoes, halve or quarter them, and boil uncovered in salted water over medium heat for about 20 minutes until very soft. Drain the water, allow the residual moisture on the potatoes to evaporate by shaking the pan on the switched-off hob. Press the potatoes through a food mill or mash them with a potato masher.

Mashed potatoes

Heat the milk in a small pan, then gradually add it to the potatoes with the butter. Stir briefly and vigorously until the potato mixture is fluffy and falls off the spoon, season. Carve the meatloaf and serve with the mashed potatoes, onions and sauce.
