Title: Carrot & Nutroast
Post by: mumofstig on November 26, 2011, 19:19

A friend gave me this recipe to try, and I thought it made a really nice change  :)

2 large grated carrots
1 onion chopped fine
3 tablespoon breadcrumbs
100g chopped mixed nuts
1 teaspn mixed chopped herbs
small handful grated cheddar
2 rounded tablespns peanut butter (I used a smooth one)
Salt and pepper                                                                          oven 190C

Lightly toast the nuts in a dry frypan, leave to cool, while you grate the carrots and chop onion.
Then mix everything together seasoning well.
Press into a 1lb loaf tin, and bake for about 30 mins, till a skewer comes out clean.

Serve hot or cold.


I'm going to try making it into patties and dry-frying them, and serve in burgerbuns  :D

Sounds yummy.  Think I may try it for vegetarian Christmas Day lunch.  What other recipes do you cook for vegetarians for this special meal?

I can recommend Vanilla Risotto for pud.
Not for the health conscious but it is a Special Day

I love nut roast and haven't made one for ages - will definitely give this a go, as my daughter is vegetarian.  If there's any left over, nut roast makes a nice veggie alternative to pork pie the following day!

Just a little update.  Made this as a trial for Christmas Day and used chilli spicy peanuts.  The result is yummy.
