ingredients

four 1-inch-thick slices Italian bread, crusts removed
1 cup milk
4 ounces sliced bacon
4 ounces sliced prosciutto
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
4 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
1 roasted red pepper from a jar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
1 teaspoon chopped thyme
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried oregano
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 ¹⁄₂ lbs ground lean pork
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 cup tomato puree
1 cup chicken stock or 1 cup low-sodium broth
¹⁄₂ cup prepared plain hummus

directions

Preheat the oven to 350°. Soak the bread slices in the milk until well saturated. Remove from milk and squeeze dry. In a food processor, pulse the bread, bacon and prosciutto. Add the onion, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted pepper and eggs; process to a paste. Pulse in the parsley, thyme, crushed red pepper, oregano and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and knead in the pork.
Preheat the broiler. Pat the mixture into two 8-inch-long loaves. In a large nonstick roasting pan, heat the 1 tablespoon of oil. Transfer the loaves to the pan and cook over moderate heat until the bottoms are browned, 6 minutes. Brush the tops with oil and broil until slightly browned, 8 minutes. Lower the oven to 350°.
In a cup, combine the tomato puree, stock and hummus. Pour the mixture into the roasting pan and cook for 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of one of the loaves registers 180°. Light the broiler.
Spoon some of the sauce over the loaves and broil for 5 minutes, until browned. Transfer to a platter and serve with the gravy.
