Ingredients

  • 3.5oz red lentils
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 1 leek
  • 6 chestnut mushrooms
  • 2.8oz cashews
  • 1.4oz almonds
  • 1 slice of brown bread (I used gluten free)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp tomato puree
  • 2 tbsp flaxseed
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped sage
  • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions

Step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.

Step 2
Mix the flaxseed with 6 tbsp water and allow to sit for 5 minutes.

Step 3
Rinse the lentils then add to a saucepan with 150ml water. Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer. Cook for around 8 minutes, or until the lentils have absorbed the water. Put to one side.

Step 4
Finely chop the leek, carrots and mushrooms.

Step 5
Add the olive oil to a frying pan over a medium heat and allow to warm. Then add in the chopped vegetables as well as the dried herbs and crushed garlic cloves. Cook for around 4 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 6
Add the tomato puree, paprika, sage, rosemary, salt & pepper to the pan. Stir well and cook for a further couple of minutes.

Step 7
Transfer the vegetables to a mixing bowl.

Step 8
Add the cashews and almonds to a food processor and pulse until broken down into small pieces, but not so fine they form a flour. Add these to the mixing bowl along with the cooked lentils and thickened flaxseed mixture.

Step 9
Add the slice of bread to a food processor and pulse until bread crumbs form. Add these to the mixing bowl then stir everything together well.

Step 10
Grease a muffin tray or use a silicone one which will make it easier to remove the nut roast bites. Then spoon the mixture into the muffin holes, packing in tightly.

Step 11
Place in the oven to cook for around 15-20 minutes.

Step 12
Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from the muffin tray and serving!
