Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 200g mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans), finely chopped
  • 100g breadcrumbs
  • 100g cooked brown lentils
  • 50g grated cheese (cheddar or vegetarian hard cheese)
  • 1 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Mushroom Gravy:
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 200g mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 400ml vegetable stock
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a loaf tin.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the chopped nuts, breadcrumbs, cooked lentils, grated cheese, chopped sage, chopped thyme, and soy sauce.
  4. Add the cooked onion and garlic mixture to the bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined.
  5. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared loaf tin.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  7. While the nut roast is baking, prepare the mushroom gravy. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  9. Gradually whisk in the vegetable stock until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has thickened.
  10. Stir in the soy sauce and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  11. Slice the nut roast and serve hot with the mushroom gravy.

Notes

  • You can use any combination of nuts you prefer.
  • For a vegan version, omit the cheese or use a vegan alternative, and use a vegan butter for the gravy.
  • If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried mixed herbs.
  • The nut roast can be made ahead of time and reheated.
