Meat loaf with milk

Ingredients

1 1/2 pound (24 oz- about 650 gr) minced ( ground) beef meat

1 egg

2 oz (50 gr) fine fresh bread crumbs

1 tablespoon (cucchiaio) chopped fresh parsley

2 tablespoon (cucchiai) Parmesan cheese

3-4 tablespoon (cucchiai) white wine

4 slices baked ham

5-6 slices fresh sweet provolone 

salt and ground black pepper 1 small chopped shallot

2 tablespoon (cucchiai) unsalted butter

2-3 tablespoon (cucchiai)olive oil

4 tablespoon /(cucchiai)

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl combine the meat with bread crumbs, parsley, Parmesan cheese and salt and ground black pepper. Mix together lightly, using a fork or your finger but do not overwork or the meat loaf will be too compact. Form the meat mixture into an oval flat layer. Place over the meat a layer of provolone cheese and then a layer of baked ham. Roll up carefully and tie a bit into a mea tloaf and close the sides.

Melt the butter with oil in a large frying pan over a low heat. Add the chopped shallot, stirring and cook until softened. Carefully transfer the meat loaf into the pan and brown on all sides, pour in white wine until reduced.. Cook on all sides for about 30 minutes. Remove the meat loaf from the pan and let stand for 5-6 minutes and then cut into slices. Stir the milk into the juices remaining in the pan and simmer gently for 1 minutes. Return the meat slices to the pan and cook for 10 minutes more.
