Recipe steps
- Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk until they turn to paste. This panade is what keeps the loaf tender instead of bouncy.
- Cook the onion soft and cool it before it goes anywhere near the meat.
- Mix everything with a light hand; overworking makes the texture rubbery.
- Shape it free-form on a tray rather than in a tin so the sides brown too.
- Glaze with tomato sauce sweetened with a little brown sugar and bake at 180C for an hour. Rest before slicing.
