Nut and Mushroom Roast

[Rainbow]

NUT & MUSHROOM ROAST



100g wholemeal breadcrumbs
50g each of chopped cashews, sunflower seeds and hazelnuts
1 medium apple, grated
1 medium carrot, grated
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
100g mushrooms, finely sliced
1/2 red and 1/2 green pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon marmite, dissolved in 1/2 cup of hot water
1/2 teaspoon each of dried thyme and rosemary
1/2 pint (approx) V8
Salt and pepper



Combine breadcrumbs, nuts, grated carrot and apple, herbs and season to taste in a large mixing bowl.

Sautee lightly onion, garlic, mushrooms and peppers and add to the above.

Add the diluted marmite and enough V8 to bind and form a fairly moist dropping consistency.

Place in a greased oven-proof dish or a 2lb loaf tin.

Bake at 200C/400F/Gas 6, for 45-60 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Serve hot or cold with all the usual trimmings.

Hmm my kind of meal will be trying this as soon as hubby returns from his trip to Switzerland where he has had trouble getting anything decent to eat.

Lesley,
As it has a bit of prep needed, I tend to do 2 or 3 at a time - also as the oven is on.....

When cold I slice it and put greasepfoof between the slices and freeze.
When needed I just wrap the amount of slices needed in tinfoil and pop in the oven whilst the roast potatoes etc are cooking.
