Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line the long sides and base of a 2lb loaf tin with double thickness baking parchment. Mix 2 tbsp each of the breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a small bowl and set aside. Tip all the remaining ingredients into a large bowl with a good shake of salt and pepper and mix well – hands are the best for this job.

  • step 2

    Press the mixture into the loaf tin and sprinkle with the reserved crumb mix. Bake for 40-45 mins until the top is golden and crunchy. If the top does not colour in the oven, pop the tin under the grill and brown the top for 5 mins. Cool in the tin for 5 mins, then lift out using the parchment and put on a board. Slice and serve with potatoes and green beans.

I’m in two minds about this recipe, easy to make bit when I removed it from the oven it was swimming in grease. After draining it on kitchen paper for. A while it sliced ok. It tasted nice. I did soften the onion but as I used my mini chopper to chop it, it was so fine it didn’t really need it. Also…

This was really nice and very easy to make. I used bacon lardons and several more garlic cloves and forgot the tomato paste but still very yummy! Served with roasted baby potatoes and green beans and was told by smallest child that I could make that again, so that’s a win!

Absolutely delicious! Slightly adjusted the ingredients based on what I had (eg used extra mature cheddar, beef and pork mince, no pancetta, ate with jacket potato and peas etc), but it went down a real treat and my 6 year old says it is the best thing he has ever tasted in his life ever ever!…

question

If I wanted to make this without pancetta or other pig meats, could I omit that ingredient or what could it be replaced with?

Really enjoyed this. will definitely cook it again. I used cooking bacon (i.e. bacon pieces instead of the Pancetta in the recipe. Also cooked it for longer at a lower temperature than the recipe. my oil fired kitchen range would have incinerated it at around180C
