Recipe for Falscher Hase/Meatloaf

Ingredients

• 500 g minced meat
• a pinch of salt
• a little white pepper
• a little lemon pepper
• a little paprika powder
• a little garlic salt
• Herbs
• 200 g sheep's milk cheese/feta

Preparation

1. For the meatloaf, the minced meat is placed in a sufficiently large bowl and mixed with the spices. Then, in the simple version, the meatloaf is shaped into an elongated loaf. If you want to additionally fill the Falscher Hase, include the filling and make sure that the filling ingredients are completely enclosed by the meatloaf.

2. Now heat some butter in a large, wide saucepan and sear the meatloaf on all sides. It is recommended to use two spatulas to turn the meat loaf.

3. After browning, about one liter of lukewarm water is added so that the roast can now simmer. An optimal cooking time is approximately 35-40 minutes.

4. Besides cooking in a pot, you can also prepare the Falscher Hase in the oven. For this, the loaf is either placed on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or put into a roasting pan to which about 200ml of water is added. The cooking time with top and bottom heat at 200° C on the middle rack is about 30 to 40 minutes, until a slight browning of the surface is visible.
