........... to Sooze in Somerset.
There are a couple of ideas for vegetarian nut type roast things on my separate recipe page but I'd not thought about bulking out nuts with dried stuffing mix, which was the idea I pinched from Sooze.
I used a mix of nuts left over from Christmas, and walnuts from even earlier, they were past their BBE date but hadn't gone off. I whizzed them in the nut chopper thing that came with my Kenwood Chef many, many years ago. They only weighed 6 ounces. Half a packet of Aldi sage and onion stuffing mix, approx 3oz. 1 large carrot, grated. Half a large onion finely chopped. I then mixed a tablespoonful of tomato puree with a little water and added to the dry mix with a beaten egg.
I've only got 2lb loaf tins and it made enough for around half full.
It went in the oven at 200℃ for 25 minutes and then I covered the top with foil and gave it another 10 minutes at 160℃
It was very tasty. I've sliced it up, wrapped and frozen and that's made enough for another 3 meals.
Later when I opened the fridge for something I saw the half a jar of cranberry sauce left from Christmas - some of that could have gone in instead of the tomato puree, if only I'd thought about it!
This was easy to make and I'll do it again.
Thanks for that recipe , it's sounds tasty and I've been looking for some more veggie recipes to stretch the budget.

It is very good and so easy - all in one bowl
DeleteI once made a nut roast with a wine tomato sauce for my son's at that time girl friend, she said she loved it and I certainly did, but never made it since. I think I might try it again.
ReplyDeleteThis works well.
DeleteI'm glad you liked it, Sue - I'd have felt quite guilty if you hadn't! Mine changes every time as I use up whatever is lurking around. Sooze
ReplyDeleteI've not got any more nuts, so might not make again for a while but I must remember the recipe idea
DeleteThat sounds delicious ! Helen
ReplyDeleteVery tasty and plenty for 4 meals
DeleteThat looks and sounds lovely. I need to make some for myself, and freezing it for future meals is a great, money saving idea. I'll have to check the cupboards and see what random ingredients I could use up to make one, I have a feeling that some of my nuts are older than Mavis!!
ReplyDeleteIt’s a very good tip from Sooze and now yourself - tasty x

I've used a nut loaf recipe from Tassajara vegetarian cooking for many years. It's our traditional christmas dinner. The base is brown rice then onions,walnuts,cashews, veggies and an egg as a binder and some cheese. maybe google Tassajara Nut loaf and see if the recipe is available. I make a gravy with tamari and nutritional yeast, water and flour as a roux to start. Quite ymmy!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really good. Seems like a quick, easy dinner. Think I’ll give it a try. Cali
ReplyDeleteI've never had anything like that. It looks good with that gravy.
ReplyDeleteThe roast looks very appetising and as a non nut family I think I may try it with chickpeas/ various beans. I’d pop some cranberry sauce on the side because I love it! Catriona
ReplyDeleteThat's brought to mind a distant memory of a mashed parsnips and packet stuffing loaf I used to make as a student. Sage and onion stuffing, I think.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a roast made with nuts. It sounds and looks quite good.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is a delicious and nutritious idea!!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
