Pork, Porcini, Pancetta Meatloaf Recipe — Recipes Zone

Method

6 steps · 45 min

01
Rehydrate Porcini
Place the porcini mushrooms in hot water until they're soft and pliable. Squeeze out any excess moisture, then finely chop them. Make sure to reserve the mushroom liquid; you'll use it later.
02
Crisp Pancetta
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook until it's crisp and golden brown, rendering out its fat.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the crisp pancetta to a bowl, leaving the drippings in the pan.
03
Sauté Aromatics
Add the chopped carrots, leeks, and garlic to the pan with the pancetta drippings. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables are soft, which should take about 5 minutes.
Pour in the reserved mushroom liquid and continue cooking over medium-low heat until all the moisture has evaporated and the pan is almost dry.
04
Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the cooked vegetables, crisp pancetta bits, Parmesan cheese, eggs, ground fennel seed, ground sage, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly.
05
Mix with Pork
Add the ground pork to the bowl with the other ingredients. Use a fork to gently combine everything, being careful not to overmix or pack down the meat too much, which can make the meatloaf dense.
06
Bake Meatloaf
Press the meat mixture evenly into an 8x8 baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F until the meatloaf is cooked through, which typically takes about 40 minutes.
