Nut Roast What's on your Christmas Season Menu's?

[Guest guest]

Glad to share!

The recipe is actually for nut croquettes but I just put it all in a loaf tin.

The recipe comes from 'The Sainsbury Book of Vegetarian Cooking' by Carole

Handslip. It's quite old (mind you so am I!) but if you could get hold of a

copy, I can't recommend it highly enough.

 

 

Nut Roast

 

I tablespoon oil

1 onion, chopped

1 celery stick, chopped

1 clove garlic, crushed

75f (3oz) mushrooms, chopped

2 teaspoons ground coriander

2 tablespoons plain flour

150 ml (1/4 pt) water

1 tablespoon shoyu* (I don't even know what this is but I've always just used

half a crumbled vegetable stock cube)

125g (4oz) cashew nuts, ground (I've often had to substitute these with peanuts

and it works just as well)

125g (4oz) wholewheat breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Salt and pepper

 

Method

 

Heat the oil in a pan, add the onions and fry until softened. Add the celery,

garlic and mushrooms and fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the coriander and fry for 1 minute, then stir in the flour.

Remove from the heat and stir in the water and shoyu/stockcube until thickened.

Add the cashew/peanuts, breadcrumbs and parsley and salt and pepper to taste and

mix well.

Turn the mixture into a greased 1 kg (2lb) loaf tin and bake in a pre heated

moderate oven 180C (350F) Gas mark 4 for about 30 minutes.

 

I prepare this the day before so it just needs warming through.

 

We normally eat at about 2.00pm which gives us time to eat the meal at leisure,

wash up and then take the dog out for his walk while there is still some

daylight (It gets dark at about 4.00 here in England at this time of the year).

If we want anything to eat later on, we have the left over Quorn 'turkey' roast

and nut roast with salads pickles cheese etc, and the nut roast is fantastic

cold and eaten in this way with fresh bread or crackers.

I love this meal and for the life of me I can't understand why anyone needs to

have dead animals on their plates to have a celebratory meal.

My daughter's boyfriend who lived with us for years (a confirmed meat eater at

the beginning of the relationship - now a hardcore vegetarian!) even when he

still ate meat, swore that ours was the best Christmas meal he'd ever eaten!

Enjoy!

This sounds wonderful!

 

Any idea how many mushrooms make up 3oz?
