[Guest guest]

This came in " Meatout Mondays " and looked so yummie. And I had all the

ingredients except Brazil nuts. I just priced them and WHOA!

New Year Nut Roast

Ingredients:

 

2 Tbs. olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 large carrot, grated

3 ½ - 4 cups fresh mushrooms, chopped

1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

1 ¾ cups cashews

1 ½ cups Brazil nuts

2 slices wholegrain bread, torn into bite-sized pieces

¼ cup ground flaxseeds

½ cup old-fashioned (not quick) rolled oats

1 Tbs. soy sauce

¼ - ½ cup hearty red wine or vegetable broth

1 tsp. dried oregano

½ tsp. dried thyme

salt & pepper (to taste)

 

Directions:

 

Heat oil in frying pan; add onion, garlic, carrot, mushrooms; sauté

until onions are soft and brown (about 10 minutes); add cilantro, mix

and turn off heat.

Place nuts, bread, flax and oats in a food processor and blend until

ground to uniform texture (like coarse meal); add herbs and pulse to

combine.

Measure 1 ½ cups of the veggie mixture and 1 ½ cups of the crumb mixture

and set aside in a large bowl.

Add remaining mixture in frying pan to crumbs in food processor, and add

soy sauce and red wine; process until smooth.

Scrape the mixture into the bowl with the vegetables and other crumbs;

combine until ingredients resemble sticky and thick “dough.”

Place mixture into lightly greased loaf pan; smooth the top and bake at

350 F for one hour, until top is dry and edges are browned. Serve with

your favorite gravy. Makes 8 servings.
