In a bowl, combine the chopped meat, salt, pepper, bread, parsley, onion, garlic, egg, chicken stock and Worcestershire sauce. Shape into two small loaves. Wrap each in wax paper and chill several hours to firm. Heat the oil in the pressure cooker and brown the loaves well on all sides. Transfer to the cooker basket. Pour off the oil and combine the tomato sauce and water, and season with salt and pepper. Spread the ketchup over the meat loaves and lower the basket into the pressure cooker.

Lock the lid in place and bring to pressure, then lower heat and cook for the suggested time. Allow pressure to drop by the quick release method [2] or automatic release method [3] and remove the lid. Slice and serve.

Suggested time for 15 psi pressure cookers (What is a 15 psi pressure cooker?): Cook for 15 minutes on high pressure.
