I've never made nut roast. Anyone have any good recipes for it? I can just sub gluten free flour, etc as I do with yorkies

The nut loaf I make is as follows

13 oz nuts - I use a mix of walnuts, cashews, almonds and brazils, in roughly equal amounts
7 oz breadcrumbs - I assume you can get gluten free bread?
Half a large onion, diced small
2 eggs
Milk
Butter
Plain flour (you mention you can get suitable flour for your needs)
2 oz grated strong cheese (I use extra extra mature Cheddar) Use extra if you wish to make it really cheesy tasting.
Dried mixed herbs

Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin
Sweat the diced onion in a little butter in a LARGE saucepan, turn off the heat, add a tablespoon of flour and enough milk to make a stiff mix. Turn the heat back on low and mix this together thoroughly; then remove from heat and leave it to cool.

Meanwhile, wuzz the nuts and bread in the food processor, and mix in the grated cheese and the herbs.

Once your onion flour and milk mix is cool, beat in the eggs.

Mix in the nuts etc (that's why you need a LARGE saucepan!!)

Turn the mixture into the loaf tin and bake for 40 minutes at 180 C.

Allow to cool slightly before turning out of the loaf tin and slicing.

Is it possible to use seeds instead of nuts in a nut roast? I don't have any seeds on hand and I'm trying really hard not to spend anything

My hubbie is veggie, what about a gluten free wellington gf pastry with whatever veg combination, if you eat cheese you could add that to. I also do red onion and goats cheese tarts. Roasted vegetable terrine maybe another alternative.

Fallafel goes really nicely with a roast. It's what I usually have when I do a roast.

I just had to say thank you for this recipe, I made it today and it has been an instant hit! :T

It's hardly traditional in any sense, but I find vegetable curry goes well with roast potatoes.

Any vegetables you like of course though my choice would be

Sweet potato
Onions
Mushrooms
Peas
Sweetcorn
Chick Peas or Red Kidney Beans

I am not a vegetarian, but I'd be happy with just a GIANT yorkshire filled with all the veggies and lashings of gravy.

But, for the record, we used to have this fab nut roast every Xmas Day; it's a real treat and yummy: http://www.cranks.co.uk/recipes/view/brazil-cashew-nut-roast
