Saturday Chill into Sunday Smooth

Well the weather is definitely getting much colder.  Last night saw the chill begin as we sat and watched the fireworks out by Bedford River.  Although the displays were beautiful, the chill didn't quite let you relax into a comfort zone.  None the less, being wrapped up warm and having fed well previously on my delicious take of a 'Nut roast' and veg, I was well satisfied.  I hope you enjoy this recipe....


And a close up, served with roast potato and steamed veg and delicious home made gravy with some cranberry sauce mixed in.  This is a great meal at Christmas time.....


Recipe - should make 2 loaves for a crunchy texture or 1 loaf for a more 'meatier' texture


60g cabbage, shredded
125g mushrooms sliced
125g soya mince
4 tbs olive oil
125g walnuts ground (roughly so you get a nice crunch if desired)
125g breadcrumbs
125g peanuts ground (roughly so you get a nice crunch if desired)
2 tsp fresh parsley chopped
1 tsp mixed herbs
Salt and pepper to taste
60 g mature cheddar grated
125mg milk (soya or normal)
1-2 tsp of tomato puree (optional although I used it in the above recipe)

Fry the cabbage, mushrooms and soya mince separately in the oil.  Mix all the ingredients in a bowl to form a soft mixture.  Add more milk if needed.  Place in 2 greased loaf tins and bake at 180oc/Gas mark 4 for 1 hour or until golden brown.

Serve with vegetables as desired.

The 'Sunday smooth' is to enjoy the lovely left overs for breakfast ;0)

Enjoy
