Nut Roast from PETA

 

Ingredients:

The roast:

two tablespoons oil or margarine

2 large onions, chopped fine

5 cloves (or an entire bulb) garlic, minced

3 cups raw cashews

1 1/2 cups bread

1 cup soup stock (or water)

salt and pepper

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

2 tablespoons lemon juice

The " stuffing " :

3 cups bread cubes, toasted

two tablespoons margarine, melted but not hot

1/2 to 3/4 cup finely-chopped onion

1 cup chopped celery

1/2 teaspoon thyme

1/2 teaspoon marjoram

1/2 teaspoon sage

3 tablespoons parsley, chopped

salt to taste

Method:

(From the first list:) Cook the onion and garlic in

the oil or margarine until tender, and remove from the

heat.

Chop the cashews by hand or in a food processor; cut

up the bread as well. Add the cashews and bread to the

onion, then add the vegetable stock, salt and pepper,

nutmeg, and lemon juice. Put half of this mixture into

a small, non-stick loaf pan (or line a regular loaf

pan with parchment paper if a non-stick pan is

unavailable).

Mix together all the ingredients from the second list.

Put the mixture on top of the stuff in the loaf pan,

and add the rest of the first mixture so that there

are three layers of food in the pan.

Place the pan on a baking sheet or in a larger loaf

pan (in case it overflows while cooking), and bake at

400 degrees F for half an hour. The top should be

browned.

Let the roast cool for a few minutes, then turn the

pan over and serve the roast on a plate (or simply

serve it out of the pan). Serve with gravy if desired,

keeping in mind that it is a very rich dish.

Notes:

The roast will take about an hour to prepare.

The stuffing works well on its own -- and I often make

extra!

The roast refrigerates well and can be frozen for a

few months and microwaved back to life.

As shown, recipe makes roughly six servings.

Vegetable stock is often available in concentrate or

as bouillon cubes, in health-food stores and in

general grocery stores. If you really can't find it,

use water.

When serving this roast, please inform the diners that

the recipe is based on one by PeTA.

When preparing this recipe and any other food you

fruits, grains, and flavorings. The Earth you save may

be your own.
