Lemon Veal Loaf Recipe
- 3 pounds veal, ground fairly fine
- ½ pound fat pork, finely ground
- 2/3 cup chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup well-seasoned tomato sauce
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Tabasco
- 1 cup (approximately) dry breadcrumbs
- 6 slices bacon
- 2 lemons, peeled and thinly sliced
- Additional breadcrumbs
- Melted butter
- Combine the meat, onion, lemon peel, eggs, tomato sauce, seasonings, and enough breadcrumbs to make a firm mixture. Form into a loaf and place on the strips of bacon in a shallow baking dish or pan. Sprinkle with additional breadcrumbs. Cover with thin slices of lemon and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Remove the lemon slices. Baste with melted butter and return to the oven for about 15 minutes to brown lightly. Serve either hot or cold.
