NUT ROAST

Never sure if I like Nut roasts, but as its Sunday and the last day of vegetarian week I thought this would be a good idea. Let me know if you try it, would love to hear you if you like it.

This is also a Cranks Recipe

NUT ROAST

serves 4

1 medium sized onion

25 g ( 1oz ) butter or margarine

225 g ( 8oz ) mixed nuts, i.e. peanuts,walnuts,cashews etxc.

100 g ( 40z ) wholemeal bread

300 ml (1/2 pt) vegetable stock or water

10 ml (2 tsp ) yeast extract

5 ml ( 1 tsp) mixed herbs

salt and pepper to taste

Chop the onions and saute in the butter until transparent.

Grind the nuts and bread together in a liquidizer until quite fine.

Heat the stock and yeast extract to boiling point, then combine all the ingredients together and mix well-the mixture should be fairly slack.

Turn into a greased shallow baking dish, level the surface, sprinkle with a few breadcrumbs, and Bake in the oven at 180 c (350 F / mark 4 ) for 30 minutes, until golden brown.

Garnish with fried onion rings, if you wish.
