How To Make Mixed Nut Roast

Step 1: You will need…

Step 2: Preheat the oven

Set the oven to 180ºC (350ºF/ gas mark 4).

Step 3: Sauté the onions

Place a small pan on a medium heat, spoon in the butter and allow it to melt. Add the onions and stir. Leave to sauté until they become transparent, which will roughly take 5 minutes. Once sautéed, remove from the heat.

Step 4: Grind the nuts and bread

Place the bread slices and mixed nuts into the liquidizer. Put on the lid, turn onto a high speed and blend until finely ground.

Step 5: Make the stock

Place another small pan on a medium heat and add the vegetable stock. Spoon in the yeast, stir and bring to the boil. Once boiling remove from the heat.

Step 6: Grease the oven dish

Take a knob of butter and rub it around the oven dish, making sure the bottom is well greased.

Step 7: Combine the ingredients

Pour the breadcrumb mix into a large bowl. Add the herbs, spoon in the onions, season with salt and pepper and pour in the stock. Mix thoroughly.

Step 8: Transfer to the oven dish

Pour the nut mix into the oven dish. Smooth it over to make it level. Finally, sprinkle over the bread crumb topping.

Step 9: Bake

Place the oven dish into the centre of the preheated oven. Cook for half an hour or until golden and remove when cooked.
