Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C or 160°C fan forced. Spray a 7cm deep, 10 x 21cm (base measurement) loaf tin with olive oil.

  2. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, zucchini (courgette) and bacon, cook stirring occasionally for 5-6 minutes or until softened. Add garlic, cook for 1 minute more. Remove and set aside to cool.

  3. Place the onion mixture, mince, All-Bran® Original, pine nuts, tomatoes, herbs, mustard and the egg in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Using clean hands, mix ingredients until well combined.

  4. Spoon the mixture into prepared tin, smooth surface with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle the top with extra pine nuts.

  5. Cover with foil, bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and return to the oven for a further 20 minutes or until firm to touch and juices run clear when tested with a skewer.

  6. Remove and set aside for 10 minutes, before removing from the tin and cutting into thick slices.

  7. Serve topped with 1 tablespoon All-Bran® Original, combined with extra chopped parsley or basil leaves.
