Lentil Roast

[BeautifulSonsMumma]

Can anyone give me a really tasty vegetarian lentil/but roast that would be nice to have with all the usual Christmas trimmings and veggie gravy. I don't want to eat meat this Christmas, but I do still want a full roast dinner. Most recipes I have seen are more suitable for yoghurt or fruity sauces.

My favourite christmas dish works well with all trimmings and veggie gravy.

==Nut Loaf

one medium-sized chopped onion
oil for frying onion
extra 2 Tbsp olive oil
1 ½ cups mixed nuts (e.g. brazil nuts, walnuts, cashew nuts, almonds)
1 ½ slices wholemeal bread
125 g cheese (e.g. cheddar)
3 eggs
seasonings (salt, pepper, chopped parsley, mixed herbs)

Fry chopped onion in frying oil and set aside. Use a food processor to grind nuts and bread, and to grate cheese. Transfer ground nuts, breadcrumbs and grated cheese to a large bowl. Add fried onion, 2 extra Tbsp olive oil and seasoning. Beat eggs in a separate smaller bowl, then add to mixture. Combine all ingredients thoroughly. Use a well oiled silicon loaf tin (otherwise it sticks to the tin). Bake 180°C for about 45 minutes. Serve hot or cold.

Larger loaf: Use a large onion, 2 cups mixed nuts, 2 slices wholemeal bread, 170g cheese, 4 eggs.

Thanks Primigravida - I will try this out on Sunday

We had mushroom Wellington. Was fab.

Mmmm I will try that too. I think I will try with olive oil pastry cos i am not a fan of puff - it catches in my throat!
