Leberkese (meat bread)

Leberkese, or meat bread, is native to Bavaria, where the famous Oktoberfest takes place. Such "bread" is served as a hot dish - with mashed potatoes, fried eggs and accompanied by stewed cabbage. It turns out very satisfying and very German. But leberkese can also be eaten cold, with pretzels and beer, as the same Germans do at a beer festival.

Directions

1. Meat and lard should be chilled, not higher than 0 ° C. Twist them through a meat grinder.
2. Transfer the resulting minced meat to a blender bowl, add all the other ingredients. (If there is no salt with nitrite, which gives the meat loaf a pink color, you can use 22 g of table salt.) Punch the mass in a blender until smooth, gradually adding ice frappe.
3. Grease a bread pan (you do not need to grease a silicone one). Put the meat mass into it.
4. Put the meat mass in a silicone bread pan (for 1 kg), pressing with hands soaked in cold water (so that the air can escape as much as possible), level the surface.
5. Place the dish in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 60-90 minutes (depending on the oven).
6. Remove the finished meat loaf from the oven. Let stand for 10 minutes in the form, and then carefully remove.
7. To serve one serving, cut off a piece of leberkese (120 g) and grill on both sides for 2-3 minutes. Heat cabbage, mashed potatoes and sauce, if they are cold, separately. Fry the egg on the grill like fried eggs, season with salt.
