Nut Roast 1 tin of chopped tomatoes 1 jar good quality pasta sauce (optional) 2 teaspoons red pesto 350g mixed nuts As much veg as you like – I use: aubergine, pepper, courgette, onion, carrot and mushrooms 1 clove garlic 1 handful of raisins to sweeten ½ cup water ½ stockcube Seasoning to taste – I use: chilli mix, Cajun mix, nutmeg, pepper, mixed herbs, smoky paprika.

Preparation time: 40 mins Cooking time: 40mins Serves: 4 Use: medium baking or roasting tin lined with well oiled tin foil 1. Preheat oven to 150c, gas mark 2. 2. Chop veg into medium sized chunks, place in a roasting tin with the peeled garlic clove and cover with olive oil. Cook for 20-25 mins (mushrooms take less time). 3. Crush the nuts and place in a tin lined with foil and toast in the oven for 5-10 mins 4. Place the tinned tomatoes and pesto in a mixing bowl, add the veg and season to taste. 5. Add ½ stock cube dissolved in ½ cup water. 6. Add the nuts and raisins. 7. If the mixture isn’t liquid enough, add some pasta sauce. 8. Place in prepared baking tin and press down flat. 9. Bake for 40 mins. Nut roast tends to taste better the day after. We have it on sandwiches or with baked potato and salad. It goes particularly well with coleslaw made with an olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing, as opposed to mayonnaise.

Leek and Potato Soup 1 white onion 1 potato 1 celeriac 2 leeks 1 stock cube 750ml water
