Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2
Mix the beef with half of the egg whites. Soften the oats in the wine and add them to the meat along with the garlic, onion, milk, tomato paste, parsley and thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Shape the mixture into two loaves. Place them on a rack in a shallow baking pan that will hold them without crowding.
Step 4
Mix the bread crumbs with the remaining egg whites and frost the loaves all over with this mixture. Bake about 1½ hours, until the loaves are crusty and brown. Serve at once or allow to cool, then refrigerate. The loaves can be reheated -- whole or sliced -- in a conventional oven or a microwave oven or sliced and used for sandwiches.
