Welcome to the tutorial on making Mediterranean meatloaf.

Discuss the flexibility of the recipe for creative fillings like pepperoni or rosemary.

Mention specific ingredients for a Mediterranean taste: dried tomatoes, olives, cheese, and basil.

For every kilo of mixture, use 20 g of nitrate curing salt or 5 g of mustard powder, 2 g of onion powder, 2 g of white pepper, 75 g of mace, 0.5 g of thyme, 1.5 g of oregano, 1.5 g of sweet paprika powder, 125 g of cardamom, and 0.25 g of ginger powder.

Prepare a base mixture of 1 kilo: 500 g pork neck, 200 g pork back fat, 150 g lean beef, and 150 g crushed ice.

Grind the meat using a 3mm plate, freezing it slightly in between.

Mix the ground meat thoroughly to achieve a fine consistency.

Add the spices to the meat mixture and mix well.

Incorporate additional ingredients: 100 g cheese, 75 g dried tomatoes, 75 g olives, and 25 g fresh basil.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Bake the meatloaf for 15 minutes at 180°C, then reduce the temperature to 120°C (248°F) and continue baking.

Check the core temperature, which should be between 69°C and 72°C (156°F to 162°F).

After baking, let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before removing it from the mold.

Carefully remove the meatloaf from the mold and serve.
