pizza stuffed meatloaf
4 tbsp | tomato purée |
1 tbsp | cider vinegar |
1 tsp | dried oregano |
500 g | beef mince |
a few slices of ham | |
70 g | reduced fat mozzarella |
30 g | Parmesan cheese, grated |
a handful of fresh basil leaves |
Preheat the oven to 190°C fan. |
In a small bowl, mix together the tomato purée, vinegar and oregano to make a paste - add more vinegar or water if you need to thin it a bit. |
Lay out some baking paper and shape the mince into a rectangle shape, about 23 x 18cm (9 × 7 inches). Spread 2 tablespoons of the tomato mix over the mince, leaving about 1cm (1½ inch) uncovered around the edge. |
On one half of the mince rectangle, layer on a few slices of ham, half the grated mozzarella and half the Parmesan. |
Use the baking paper to help you 'fold' over the uncovered half on top of the other half, and pinch together the seams to form a meatloaf. Carefully move it on to a baking sheet. |
Spoon the rest of the tomato mix on top of the meatloaf and sprinkle over the remaining cheese and some salt and pepper. |
Cook in the oven for about 30 minutes, then remove and top with the basil leaves to serve. |
