hi this is a general receipe for a nutroast but you can add whatever ingredients you prefer.

ingredients

2 cups of nuts( whatever variety you prefer)

2 onions(chopped and cooked)

2 cloves of garlic( chopped)

a variety of  vegetables- peppers, courgettte, mushrooms

1/4 cup of bouillion( or any veg stock)

Method

Use a food processor to blend the nuts or if you dont have a food processor use chopped mixed nuts.

Saute all the vegetables with garlic and onion.

Add to the nuts and blend quickly. Add bouillion and mix with spoon.

Prepare a loat tin( preferrably a rubber one) using Pure soay spread. If using a tin line with grease proof paper.

Pour nut and veg mixture into loaf tin.

Cook in oven at gas mark 7/8 or 200 degrees for 40-50 mins.  If the edges are burning cover with tinfoil.

When the nutroast is cooked, place a plate over the top of the loat tin and ease out gently.

Hellooo, this is Clodagh.
this blog is looking sort of bare, so i’ll post the recipe for what you may have tasted last night, orange hummus:
*a tin of cooked chick-peas [or the cheaper option, a cup of dried chickpeas, soaked over night and simmered for 30 mins or so until soft, don't throw out the water you cooked 'em in]
* third of a teaspoon some or all of the following;
Cumin, Ginger, Mustard Powder, Tumeric, Salt, Cayenne
* couple cloves garlic, minced
*dash of Cider Vinegar
* essential: small glass of orange juice, or the juice of an orange

get all the above and whizz in a blender, if it’s too solid, -slowly- add some of the water you cooked the chickers in, taste and add what spice you think is lacking, i like the zingy taste the cider vinegar adds.
will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge.
eat with tortilla chips or on bread or whatever you’re having yourself.
the original recipe has tahini in it, it’s really good for you but i think it tastes like sellotape so that is why i omit it.
