These were in my freezer, bought from Aldi before Christmas so about time at least one was tried. So yet another taste-test.
A hand finished blend of butternut squash, sweet potato, cashew nuts and parsnips, with an indulgent melting brie and cranberry centre.
I served it up with fresh cooked carrots with frozen green beans and a dollop of my red hot relish
Surprise, surprise - It was actually very tasty, which makes a change. 318 calories and rather too high in the fats, sugars and salt % for regular eating but as they only had them at Christmas and may never have them again, that's not really a problem.

It sounds and looks absolutely delicious - although what does 'hand finished' mean, I wonder? :-) xx
ReplyDeleteYour "roast" certainly looks like the one on the box, which is good , and a good sized portion, too. I think "hand finished" may just mean that as it goes along the conveyor belt, someone pops a small piece of cheese on top! [I've watched too many episodes of Inside The Factory] I bought a packet of fancy stuffing to use at Christmas, and now i cannot find it!
ReplyDeleteI have a few Christmas treats still in my freezer, there is always more choice at that time of year.
ReplyDeleteI had the vegan version of this, it was definitely one of their better offerings. I think I have one more thing in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteMuch better than so many of the other things I've tried
DeleteThat looks delicious but as you say, just to be eaten sparingly. Catriona
ReplyDeleteThis looks pretty good. Rarely do the prepared meals meet expectations. This might be the exception.
ReplyDeleteI've never had a "nut roast". Is it the vegetarian version of meat loaf?
ReplyDeleteThere are all sorts of versions of nut roasts. This was mainly veg but with a few cashews inside
DeleteAn interesting mix of flavors in that dish. How many did you purchase?
ReplyDeleteJust one pack with two inside
DeleteThey look good.
ReplyDeleteIt looks quite nice. Glad it was tasty.
