Vegetarian Nut Roast To Buy

CashewsI love the rich flavor of cashew nuts and think they work super well in nut roast. However, they can be quite expensive, so feel free to swap them out for a different kind of nut, if that works better for you!
BreadcrumbsBread crumbs help to bulk out the roast and absorb the flavors. I would recommend making bread crumbs from stale bread and most shop-bought bread crumbs will be too fine.
Yes! You can make the nut roast mix on Christmas eve and store it in the fridge, to cook the next day. This is a great alternative to cooking everything on the day, as it frees up more time to enjoy yourself outside the kitchen on the big day!
Leftover nut roast can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes! You can also cut it into individual slices and freeze those for up to a month.
Normal Christmas sides (the vegetarian ones!). Gravy, roasted root vegetables, stuffing, brussell sprouts, cranberry sauce. Some people like to spread tomato paste on top of their nut roast, or prepare a smoky tomato sauce to drizzle over it.
What a fantastic recipe and so easy to make too. We made this yesterday and it is by far the best nut roast/roll we have ever eaten. We made the whole roll, so as there are 2 of us we have enough for 3 meals and as you say we can freeze some.

This is probably a silly question, but can you substitute the bread crumbs for anything Perhaps coconut flour or tapioca flour I have joint problems (R/A) and had to cut grains out of my already restrictive vegetarian diet. If you have any ideas I would appreciate it as this looks delicious!

I do have a question, why do you need to rest the mix, we did so anyway, but just interested, how does it help, perhaps to blend the flavours
We have made this nut roast several times now and everyone, even non vegetarians think it is amazing. We are making a double size one for Christmas as we have veggie friends coming over for the day. So pleased we found your site and this fabulous recipe, thank you
Thanks for this recipe. Not a fan of the nut roasts with the fruit in them so this was perfect. Served with baked potatoes and minty mushy peas for a great Sunday roast. It was so simple to make. A new favourite
Chilly days have me craving hearty vegan dinners. This is especially true with the holidays approaching! I'm always on the lookout for a super savory vegan main dish. Do you feel the same Well it's time you tried a vegan nut roast!
A nut roast is pretty much what it sounds like: a meatless roast, in the shape of a loaf, that's made primarily from nuts. Think of it as a vegan alternative to meatloaf. It's traditionally a Christmas roast, but I think it's perfect for any holiday, and even weekend dinners throughout the year.
The flavor is (not surprisingly) nutty! For those wondering, it does not generally taste like meat. The specific flavors depend on what you put into your roast, but to give you a general idea, it tends to have the kind of mild savory flavor that you might expect from Thanksgiving stuffing.
Place the pan into the oven and bake the roast for about 55 minutes. It should have darkened and firmed up when it's done. You can test it by inserting a toothpick into the center. It will come out hot when the roast is done.
Tip: if you prefer your nut roast chunkier in texture, chop the nuts roughly, leaving some bigger bits. For a more dense and compact texture, chop the nuts quite fine. You can see from the photos below that the nut loaf on the left has bigger nut chunks, whilst in the loaf on the right I chopped the nuts quite fine. As a result, the latter produced a denser nut loaf.
Finally, transfer the mixture into a loaf tin lined with parchment paper and pack very firmly and evenly with the back of the spoon. Cover with foil and roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes. Take the foil off halfway through cooking. Let the nut roast rest in the tin for 10-15 minutes before slicing. I recommend using a serrated knife for better slicing.
The brilliance of nut roasts is that they are also easy to make ahead of time and require very little oven space. So since they happen to be a traditional holiday food in the UK, and so many of us were already planning to cook smaller holiday meals this year, I thought that this would be the perfect week to share this recipe.
Make-ahead instructions: If you would like to prep this recipe in advance, I recommend cooking the entire nut roast filling and refrigerating it in a sealed food storage container for up to 48 hours before baking. Then transfer the filling to the prepared bake pan and bake as instructed. Alternately, you can go ahead and bake the nut roast, let it cool completely to room temperature, wrap it tightly with beeswrap or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days (or freeze for up to 3 months). Then on the day you are ready to serve the nut roast, let it return to room temperature, place it in a bread pan, cover with foil and bake at 350F (180C) for 15-20 minutes until warmed through.
This pack doesn't contain gravy, but Tofurky sells meal kits that include both the roast and a vegan gravy, or even a whole \"feast\" that includes a dessert as well. Although the roast appears to be pretty small, it's actually quite dense.
All of the roasts, including the Tofurky original, are basically cooked the same way: Remove the plastic casing, cover with foil, bake in the oven so it heats, and cook it uncovered for another 10 to 15 minutes to brown.
The original Tofurky took about an hour and 25 minutes total to bake. I cooked it on its own for the sake of this experiment, but normally I'd surround the roast with hearty vegetables, like carrots and potatoes, for added moisture and flavor.
Somehow it managed to have a good, turkey-like flavor, similar to the Tofurky, but with a slightly softer texture. I would also recommend pairing gravy and/or cranberry sauce with this roast to help make it moister.
In addition to its large and small Celebration Roasts, the brand Field Roast makes a 32-ounce pastry-encrusted hazelnut cranberry roast that's been my holiday go-to for the last few years. I got mine for $19.99 at Sprouts.
My only word of advice here is that when the instructions say to cover the loaf loosely with foil, they mean it. I wrapped my roast a little too tightly and some of the puff pastry got stuck to the foil.
I wasn't a fan of this roast because the spice rub on the outside was too aggressively black peppery for my taste, although if you like pepper, it might be right up your alley. The flavor of the inside of the roll was pretty good, if mild.
Because of the glazing and re-glazing, this one was the most labor-intensive, though not by much. I used a spatula to pick up and re-drip the fallen sauce, keep as much of the reddish glaze as possible on the roast itself.
I'd consider the roast itself pretty middle-of-the-road, not amazing or terrible, but the gravy was a different story. For some reason, it really rubbed me and both of my roommates the wrong way. It was sort of thin, sort of chicken-y, and didn't go well with the roast at all.
Overall, most of these roasts were really simple to prepare. And, with the exception of the breaded and pastry-crusted roasts, I think they would be lovely roasted with some carrots, potatoes, or other vegetables and herbs of your choice.
EASY! Just add water, mix and bake! Baking pan included. A delicious vegan alternative to mince. A perfect nut roast without the hassle. EASY. REAL. CLEAN. 1 packet SERVES 6, with 16.5g of PROTEIN per serve! Don't forget the Gravy!
They roast much faster so you will have to roast them separately anyway. Plus if they are already on the cusp of very well roasted the they will tend to have a over toasted or slight burnt flavor in the final loaf because of the amount of baking Time of the loaf
This nut loaf was everything I love in a nutroast! I appreciate that it was sliceable without being dry. I made it for meat eaters to rave reviews.I did use two eggs as we eat eggs.I prefer a taller nutroast so I just kept the mix on 2/3 of the loaf pan which worked just fine.Thanks for another great recipe!
My first attempt at making a nut roast and I loved this recipe!! I omitted the walnuts and also added some sunflower seeds. But otherwise followed the recipe and it tasted delicious. I have some slices frozen for another time. I will definitely recommend this recipe to all of my friends.
