Tastiest nut roast for a meat eater

I am not vegan or even vegetarian but figured this was the best place to ask.

I once had a really gorgeous nut roast in a restaurant. I’ve fancied making one ever since but DH wasn’t keen on the idea. However, we’ve decided we want to eat meat free at least once a week and DH has said he is happy to give it a go.
It will need to be really tasty if I want to convince him to eat it again!

Please share your favourite recipe.
Thank you.

They’re tricky to make tasty.

best advice is to add a load of umami taste - so soy sauce, maybe tomato paste etc.

I really like the sound of that, thank you @Forgottenmyphone

If you can find a copy of Rose Elliot's Vegetarian Supercook, her Tamari-flavoured Nut Roast with Tomato Sauce is amazing. I make it for Christmas dinner every year.

I use a recipe from Delia's Complete Cookery Course but just put whatever nuts I have handy in it and a big spoonful of marmite.

M&S do a nice one for Christmas but homemade is definitely best.
