Mortadella (finely ground pork sausage with pieces of pistachio and spices) and a couple tablespoons of wine add tremendous depth of flavor to this traditional comfort food. Serve it with several vegetable side dishes, sparkling water, and a bottle of wine.From the book "Lucinda's Rustic Italian Kitchen," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Wiley).

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup milk
1 slice bread, crust removed (1 1/2-inch)
1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground veal or beef
1/3 pound mortadella, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pistachio nuts, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons white or red wine
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Heat the milk in a small pan until warm but not scalded. Turn off the heat. Place the bread in the milk and let sit to absorb the milk, turning once, about 1 minute per side. Remove the bread to a board, finely chop it, and place the bread in a large bowl.
  • Add the pork, veal, mortadella, onion, parsley, cheese, nuts, garlic, eggs, wine, salt, and pepper to the bread. Using your hand, mix to combine completely. Form into an oval-shaped loaf and place in a large baking dish. Cook for 55 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
