Ingredients
- 1 ½ tbsp olive oil plus more for greasing the pan
- 1 ½ cups mushrooms button or chestnut (finely diced)
- 1 large onion finely diced
- 1 large bell pepper finely diced
- 7 oz pecans
- 3 ½ oz almonds blanched
- 2 ½ oz pistachio kernels
- 1 cup sweet potato see recipe notes, mashed
- ¼ cup chives chopped
- ½ cup parsley chopped
- 2 flax eggs (1 flax egg = 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2 tbsp water, set aside for 10 minutes)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¼ cup gluten-free flour
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp mustard ensure vegan and gluten-free
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 1 red chilli pepper de-seeded and finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (350F) and grease a loaf pan with olive oil.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or skillet. Add the mushrooms, onion and bell pepper, and cook for 5 minutes, until they soften.
- Meanwhile, add the pecans, almonds and pistachios to a blender or food processor, and blend quickly to form a crumbly mixture.
- Transfer the cooked vegetables to a large mixing bowl together with the nuts. Add the sweet potato, chives, parsley, flax eggs, paprika, salt, cumin, garlic powder, gluten-free flour, tomato paste, mustard, tamari, red chilli pepper, and garlic. Mix together really well.
- Transfer to the loaf tin and flatten down well using a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, until crispy and golden brown on top.
- Allow to cool for around 5-10 minutes, then use a butter knife to loosen the nut roast around the edges. Place a serving board on top of the loaf pan and carefully flip upside down. Remove the loaf pan and serve.
