A traditional and authentic Hungarian meatloaf, this easy recipe uses beef and pork mince and is best served with a leafy salad to create a healthy meal.

The juicy meatloaf is infused with a rich smoky aroma from the mangalitza bacon. Since it travels well, you can also bring it along for a picnic or slice thinly for a delicious sandwich filling and enjoy with some artisanal pickles for a mouth-watering twist.

For this recipe, we would like to thank Aranka Turmezei, daughter of Hungarian/Croatian hoteliers.
