Ingredients
- ¾ cup (110 g) cashews
- ¾ cup (110 g) peanuts (roasted or spiced)
- 5 slices wholegrain bread (whole wheat, crumbled; 5 slices = ca. 220g)
- 1 large onion
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 cloves garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ⅕ cup (50 ml) vegetable broth
- 1 tsp oregano, dried
- 1 tsp thyme, dried
- 1 tbsp parsley, dried
- 1 tbsp basil, dried
- 5 oz (140 g) cheddar cheese (mature cheddar is great) (or use vegan cheese to make the whole thing vegan)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350F.
- Crush or grind the nuts (you can use a food processor to save time) then mix with the breadcrumbs. If you don’t have all the proper equipment (we don’t) then use the end of a glass bottle crush the nuts in a plastic bowl.
- Dice then fry the onion in plenty of oil. When the onions have turned clear, add them (and all the oil!) to the mix.
- Add in the eggs, crushed or grated garlic, salt, pepper, broth, herbs and grated cheese.
- Mix again then knead well.
- Let it stand for 15 minutes.
- Roll into a roll shape.
- Place in baking tray and cook for 40 minutes at 180°C (check it after 30 mins, you don’t want it getting too dry).
- Done! Enjoy your veggie replacement.
