NannyP's Nut RoastI made this today...I've never made one before, so did a look around the net for ideas of ingredients, and to see what I already had indoors. It's come out really well, and there is enough for 2 more meals. Yummy.
Amounts are rough guides as I didn't weigh.
300g Cashews (Iwashed the salt off)
300g Chestnuts peeled, halved (I'd frozen some of ours from last Autumn)
300g Walnuts (last year's again)
150g Red Lentils, rinsed and cooked for 45 mins (then drained)
1 small pack of Paxo stuffing (you choose the flavour)
150g Porridge Oats
100g Ground Almonds
1 Onion chopped
2 cloves of Garlic
Herbs to your taste (Thyme, Sage, Parsley)
Salt and Pepper (I forgot)
1 egg (could I have used 2?)
some water.
Put the dry lot in a food processor and blitz until it reaches the grade that you want it to. Then add cooked lentils, an egg (or 2?) and water until it reaches a consistency that looks like it'll hold itself together 
Grease a 2lb loaf tin, pack it full of the mixture (mine was right up to the brim. Cook in centre of 180C oven for 40 mins.
Mark said it was a bit dry, I think it was about right???
I served it with small jacket pots, and some frozen broccoli and gravy.
It was a long winded process, as I had to shell the walnuts and peel the chestnuts. The chestnuts were much easier having been frozen, but it was still a labour intensive meal. I am pleased there is enough left for 4 people. I will feed it to my veggie friend when she comes early next month.
