Notes

Tip
This tastes great served with Italian-style beans and potatoes.
Tip
You can also cook this in the slow cooker for 4-6 hours on high.
Tip
I like to place some thick straps of foil underneath to lift the loaf out.
Variation
If you can’t get pork and veal mince, chicken or beef mince will do fine.
