NUT ROAST (VEGETARIAN MAIN COURSE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375ºF and line a 9-inch by 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. (I like to spray the pan with a bit of oil first, to help the parchment stay in place.) Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and saute the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• While the onion is cooking, quickly process the mushrooms in a food processor fitted with an "S" blade to break them down into an almost rice-like texture. Add the mushrooms and garlic to the onion in the skillet, and saute until the liquid from the mushrooms evaporates, about 8 more minutes.
• While everything is cooking, pulse the walnuts and pecans in the food processor (no need to rinse it after chopping the mushrooms) until they resemble a coarse flour.
• Transfer the ground nuts to a large bowl, along with the cooked brown rice, parmesan, eggs, parsly, thyme, salt, and 5-6 grinds of fresh black pepper. Add in the cooked mushroom mixture, and stir well to combine.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, and use a spatula to smooth the top. Cook the loaf at 375ºF until the top is golden and firm, about 45 to 60 minutes. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before removing the loaf from the pan, then slice and serve.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The leftover loaf makes a great stuffing/filling for roasted squash, if you want to repurpose the dish!

NUT LOAF SUPREME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Put walnuts and pecans in a resealable bag and seal; crush nuts using a rolling pin.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, marjoram, sage, and thyme; cook and stir until mushrooms are golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer mushroom mixture to a large bowl.
• Stir crushed walnut mixture, Swiss cheese, wild rice, cottage cheese, eggs, parsley, salt, and pepper into mushroom mixture until evenly mixed. Pour mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until loaf is golden brown, about 1 hour. Let loaf cool in pan for about 20 minutes before inverting pan and removing loaf.

THE BEST NUT ROAST EVER!

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 180°C/356°F
• Spread your Brazil nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, and pecans over a baking tray and put them in the oven, and roast them for 8 minutes, when done set them aside to cool
• Meanwhile, while your nuts are roasting, add your chopped parsnips to a pan of boiling salted water and cook until they are soft, approximately 10 - 15 minutes. When they are cooked, drain the water and then return them to the pan, mash them, and set them aside
• Over medium heat, heat your olive oil in a large frying pan, and add the onions and fry for approximately 12 - 15 minutes until they have turned dark brown and are starting to caramelize, stirring often to stop the onions from sticking and burning. Next, add in your red chili and garlic, stir to combine, and cook for 1 minute. Now add in your brown lentils, mushrooms, carrots, red pepper, and tomato paste and stir to combine and cook them until the carrot has started to soften approximately 15 - 20 minutes
• Next, add in your breadcrumbs, fresh rosemary, fresh sage, fresh thyme, ground allspice, smoked paprika, ground nutmeg, and stir to combine. Now, pour in your vegetable stock, stir to combine all of the ingredients, and simmer over a very gentle heat until all the liquid has been absorbed. Remove your pan from the heat
• Take the cool roasted nuts and place half of them in your food processor and blitz them until they are a fine nut meal. Roughly chop the remaining nuts into varying sizes to your own preference. Roughly break up the cooked chestnuts. Add the nut meal, the chopped nuts, chestnuts, and stir to combine. Now add your orange zest, add the amount that you personally prefer. Finally, take your mashed parsnips and add them to the nut roast mixture, folding them in to create a well combined thick mixture. Taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Next, wipe vegan butter all over the insides of your loaf tin, to ensure the nut roast doesn't stick
• Now, add the nut roast mixture into the prepared loaf tin. Press firmly down on the mixture so it compacts tightly into the loaf tin and then ensure you have a smooth even top in line with the loaf tin.
• Place your prepared nut roast on a baking tray. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour, then remove the foil and bake for a further 10 minutes. When your nut roast is ready, it'll be dark brown on top, remove it from the oven and leave it to cool for 10 - 15 minutes. Remove from the loaf tin by placing a plate on top of the loaf tin and then turning it upside down, your cooked nut loaf should easily fall out of the tin. To serve, cut into slices and serve with all the trimmings!
