I am looking for a descent nut roast recipe. All the ones I find online are uninspiring and with things like root veg included. Cranks used to be the go to recipe but the only one I can find just doesn't cut it for me. Thinking along the lines of several types of nut, breadcrumbs, herbs, mushrooms, maybe pulses (?) or butternut squash and something to bind it all together.
The recipe needs to be scale-able as I want to use an 8 inch saverin mould to cook it in so I need to adjust the quantities to suit. I haven't done a volume test on the saverin but it will probably be the same volume as a 2lb loaf tin.
Maybe around 7-8 years ago there was a recipe printed on packets of Great Scot Red Split Lentils for a vegetarian (maybe even vegan) meatloaf. Made it a few times and it was really good. Unfortunately they stopped printing the recipe before I had got around to writing it down. It's not on the Whitworths (owners) website either, even though they do have a recipe section. Tried a few online ones but they were terrible in comparison. I can't even remember the main ingrediants other than the lentils. Long shot I know, but if anyone happens to have the recipe please share.
Sourcing/cooking one is on my roster this xmas. Â Thinking of trying this:

Or maybe pushing the boat out and showing my vegans that they are every bit as special and deserving of feast as those choose the bird:f
(I learned that always worth reading the comments underneath recipes to spot ony possible oitfalls or improvements made. Â Someone added onion powder.
I'd agree. Â A teaspoon or two of onion powder in most savoury family recipes gives a piquant something. Â Also savoury b12 flakes. Â But this recipe looks good, would go with a nice wild mushroom gravy.
This is the one I did last Christmas for my veggie wife and she has requested it again this year

It is tasty!
* as important as those choosing the bird 🙄

I like this recipe for a simple chestnut roast. Though maybe add a bit more herbs and spices.  http://www.parsleysoup.co.uk/getrecipe.php?section=christmas&recipe=chestnut_roast
I made ours yesterday and 3/4 cooked it. How about anyone else?
