Comments on: The World’s Best Nut Roast http://hitherto.net/2005/05/20/the-worlds-best-nut-roast/ A continuing work in progress Sat, 03 Mar 2012 15:34:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4-beta4-20819 By: Jamey http://hitherto.net/2005/05/20/the-worlds-best-nut-roast/comment-page-1/#comment-87081 Jamey Tue, 08 Sep 2009 23:33:54 +0000 http://bastard.hitherto.net/wordpress/2005/05/20/the-worlds-best-nut-roast/#comment-87081 I made this today for a Sunday roast and many of my friends, including the meat eaters, said how great and tasty it was. I used 'Energ-G Egg Replacer' meaning it was vegan and left out the mushrooms (I disfavour them). I substituted 'mixed nuts' instead of pine nuts, as the ones I found were expensive; it ended up tasting nutty and flavourful. I'll definitely be cooking this up at Christmas with the family, thank you! I made this today for a Sunday roast and many of my friends, including the meat eaters, said how great and tasty it was.

What intrigued me is the use of no bread or bread crumbs! A lot of other recipes seem to have that, and as an amateur triathlete I try and find recipes that pack a lot of protein in. Anyway, I made it exactly according to instructions save for one small swap: I used dried mixed herbs rather than dried basil. The result? One of the most brilliant-tasting vegetarian dishes I've ever created!!! Can't wait to make it again. Thanks so much for an interesting recipe. Cheers, Hayley from Melbourne, Australia.

To be honest, I just tend to grab whatever's available in the store, but I believe that it's usually "Firm" tofu, and that sounds right, from the "tofu type" descriptions <a href="http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/hungrymind/soyguide.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

Several members of our house including myself are semi veg (we occansioally indulge in fish). The other meat eating members were up for it when we suggested a nut roast. I spent about 10 minutes trawling through the internet and came across your stereotypical lentil and celery etc varieties until I stumbled upon your recipe. I thought it sounded kind of weird so I gave it a crack. Wow. Our household are converts. Even the most hardened carnivores cleaned their plates. Well done recipe maker! Will be passing recipe on to lots of happy friends. The only slight difference I made was that they didn't have any walnuts at the supermarket (London at this time of year!) so I used pecans in their place and they were lovely.

I'm not sure that you'd get good results freezing the mixture before cooking, but if you cook the Nut Roast, let it cool and then immediately freeze I imagine it will be just fine to reheat it later. (Usual caveats about reheating/not refreezing/"at your own risk" etc. apply). If you try it, let me know how it turns out! elaine: Thanks for the questions. I'll fix the recipe shortly. I've always used whole shelled walnuts, and halved them before adding them to the recipe. Poison Ivy: thanks for the tip! Should be useful for anyone who wants to make a vegan version.

I *think* it's about a tablespoon of flaxseeds to 1.5 tablespoons oil to equal one egg. Flaxseeds are very healthy (lots of omegas) but they can have a bit of a strong nutty taste, but as this is a nut roast recipe... PS - I'm going to give this recipe a go if my veggie friends come to Christmas dinner. Actually I'll give it a go anyway because I just like nut roast.

I am doing a nut roast for my stepdaughter and her husband and small son. Can this recipe be frozen a couple of weeks in advance? I have never done a nut roast before, are there any obvious pitfalls?
