Easy Cashew and Mushroom Nut Roast Recipe

Take a bow, the easy cashew and mushroom nut roast! This is the Christmas lunch made for the Intn’l Man of Mystery for the past 22 years.

This isn’t the prettiest dish, but it IS totally delish.

I do also serve ham and other meat dishes at Christmas, but to be honest, this simple veggie dish is my fave,

For years I have been meaning to perfect a creamy mushroom sauce to go with it… no success so far.

Ingredients

1 small onion, chopped1 tbs oil2 cloves garlic225gr cashews110gr fresh breadcrumbs1 egg1 medium sweet potato, cooked and mashed½ tsp dried rosemary1 tsp Vegemite150ml veggie stock25 gr butter

225gr mushrooms, sliced

Mix in breadcrumbs, add egg, sweet potato and rosemary.Add in the onions and any juices from the frying pan.Mix Vegemite into stock and then pour into cashew mixture and mix well.Divide this mixture into two equal parts.Saute the mushrooms.Put one half of the cashew mix onto the bottom of a suitable dish.Spread the mushrooms on top of that.Spread second lot of cashew mix on top.Cover in foil.Bake in oven for approx one hour, serve hot or cold.

Freezes well.
