Garnish:

1In a frying pan, heat some oil and sauté finely chopped garlic and onion until soft. Add red wine and let it simmer until reduced. Remove from heat and let it cool.
2Mix beaten egg and fresh breadcrumbs together. Cut the 5mm of egg whites from top and bottom of boiled eggs and coat with cornstarch.
3In a bowl, combine ground beef and pork blend, sautéed onion, egg and breadcrumb mixture, salt and pepper, nutmeg, tomato ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until the mixture becomes sticky.
4Line a pound cake mold with aluminum foil. Place slices of bacon, making sure they do not overlap.
5Spoon half of the meat mixture into the mold, then place boiled eggs on top. Cover with the remaining meat mixture.
6Cover the top with more bacon and wrap the mold in foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 40 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a wooden skewer into the center; it should come out clean.
7In a small saucepan, simmer A. ingredients for sauce until it thickens. Turn off the heat and stir in butter.
