Our Italian Easter with Ukrainian touch

Every year for Easter I try to cook something new, but some dishes have long been traditional for my family and without them, somehow, even a holiday is not a holiday – like an Easter basket without painted Easter eggs. And since we combine Ukrainian traditions with Italian ones, our Easter dishes are international too. Therefore, on Maundy Thursday morning I always knead the dough for Ukrainian Easter sweet bread (paska) and bake a traditional Italian cheesecake (pastiera). My husband makes homemade sausages and prepares his “favorite” chocolate liquor. And Saturday is the day of baking casatiello (traditional Neapolitan stuffed bread), Italian Colomba (Italian Easter cake), and granny’s bunny (that’s what we always call my grandmother Maria’s beef and pork meatloaf). All this happens in between making salads, appetizers, sandwiches, painting eggs, cleaning up, and other joyful pre-holiday chores. Today I’m going to share my grandma’s recipe. I have been loving this Ukrainian Easter meatloaf since my childhood and can eat a ton of it, both cold and hot. After we got married, I passed  this gastronomic passion on to my Italian husband and his relatives too! It is simply impossible to pass by such a fragrant deliciousness indifferently. This beef and pork meatloaf is perfect at any time of year, but for some reason, it becomes special for Easter.  Try it, and have a  happy holiday season!

Ingredients for Ukrainian Easter meatloaf:

If you are a happy digital kitchen scale owner, I highly recommend using it instead of cups and spoons. Especially when it comes to baking recipes. A scale gives you far more accurate results than volume measurements (everyone scoops ingredients differently). Trust me, using a kitchen scale to measure ingredients will take your baking to a new level.

  • Eround meat: pork and beef
  • Eggs
  • Salt and pepper
  • Onion. It should be raw and ground
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Garlic cloves (minced)
  • Semolina
  • Milk

How to make beef and pork meatloaf

Put all the ingredients together

Mix everything very well with your hands (you can also use a food processor or a planetary mixer) and knead elastic “meat mixture”. It’s necessary to knead for about 15-20 minutes, beating the meat well. Then cover the ready mass with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for at least 3 hours

Form two meatloaves and place them on a baking tray covered with an oiled parchment

Generously spread a beaten egg over the meatloaves

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the meatloaves for 40-50 minutes

How do you know when beef and pork meatloaf is done?

To check readiness, lightly prick the meatloaf with a toothpick or fork – if the juices run clear it’s ready.

Enjoy it! Ukrainian Easter beef and pork meatloaf is delicious both cold and warm  And the aroma of garlic … Mmmmm … it’s amazing…
