Húskenyér is a traditional Hungarian meatloaf. This easy recipe uses beef and pork mince and is best served with a leafy salad to create a healthy meal. The juicy meatloaf is infused with a rich smoky aroma from the Mangalitza bacon, and since it also travels well, you can also bring it along for a picnic or slice thinly for a delicious sandwich filling.

For this recipe, we would like to thank Aranka Turmezei, daughter of Hungarian/Croatian hoteliers.
