Meatloaf, European-Style; image

This is a typical Meatloaf found in eastern European kitchens and restaurants. My Dad who was a wonderful cook brought this with him when he came to America in the 20's. I've added the glaze when I started to prepare it myself. Also he used to use minced garlic, not the other type I now use. Remember to get lean ground pork. The pork I remembered seeing in the supermarkets had very visible pork fat. Try not to purchase that type. Buttered parslied potatoes and cucumber salad go especially well with this dish. You can use either a loaf pan or a 9x13. One tip said she used a loaf pan and was able to extract the grease before adding the glaze. Both pans are usable. See which one works best for you.

  • In a large bowl add the pork, egg, parsley, salt, pepper, bread that has been moistened with the milk, garlic granulated or powdered, and the cooled sauteed onions.
  • Mix really well with hands.
  • Shape into an oval approximately 3" high x 4" wide. Place into a 13"x9" baking dish.

  • Let it rest about 10 minutes before serving.
