I had a lot of leftovers in my fridge and I was thinking Bubble and Squeak.
Then I had an idea; I would try to make a Meatloaf. And it worked perfectly!
You can vary the ingredients as much as you like, as long as you get the weight right.
1 ½ lbs/0.7kgs meat. One recipe recommended belly of pork.
I had two slices of belly of pork. I added chicken from a drumstick, Serrano ham, ham slices & 2 carrots.
1 onion
Fresh parsley & sage, or herbs of your choice
1 egg
A tin of tomatoes.
You could use a tin of pineapple instead.
2 heaped tblsps breadcrumbs
A dash of lemon juice
Blitz all the ingredients until nearly smooth. But leave the mixture like crumbs to show off the colours.
Tip into a greased loaf pan.
Bake in an oven 180C/350F for 1 ½ hours.
I stood the loaf pan in a baking tin of hot water for the first hour, to keep it moist.
Then I took it out for the final half hour.
Serve it hot, or cold with a salad the next day.
