  • 700g pork and veal mince (see notes)
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 250.00 ml fresh breadcrumbs

Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan-forced and grease a large roasting pan.
  • In a bowl, mix together the mince, egg, breadcrumbs, half of the onion, half of the capsicum, and half of the basil. Season with salt and pepper, then mix well. Transfer the mixture to a prepared pan and shape it into a firm 12cm x 22cm loaf.
