This recipe was given to me by a fellow Kiwi surfer. I have yet to try it, but it sounds good, and apparently it tastes good too. I think it comes out kind of like a meatloaf but with no meat, or perhaps like a loaf of bread, I'm not 100% sure, but I am told it's good hot or cold.
If you get around to making it before I do, please comment how it came out.
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1-2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp olive or sunflower oil
- 225g cashew nuts, ground
- 2 cups fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs
- 450g carrots, cooked or mashed (keep the water you boiled them in for stock)
- 1½ tsp caraway seeds
- 1 tsp marmite or vegemite
- juice of ½ a lemon
- 75ml stock from the carrots
- salt and pepper to season
Fry onions and garlic in a pan until onion is soft. Remove from heat and transfer into a large mixing bowl.
Add all the other ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Place mixture into a greased loaf tin and level off the surface.
Cover with tin foil and bake at 180°C / 350°F for an hour.
Remove foil and bake for a further 10 minutes.
Leave to stand in loaf tin for at least 10 minutes before turning out.
Serve in slices with roast potatoes, salad, garlic bread etc.

I've known about this recipe for quite a few years. The version I have is exactly the same as this, execpt that it also includes a dessert spoon of light tahini. It is fantastic. Quite the best nut roast I have ever made or tasted.
