BAKED CASHEW LOAF

I ate this when attending a weekend workshop, where it was served for lunch by the woman running the workshop, a naturopath and herbalist. It was so delicious that all the participants wanted a copy of the recipe. She served the loaf with her own tomato sauce. The ingredients blended together so well - and the texture and flavour was so delicious - that I would have been hard-pressed to have guessed all the ingredients. I only ate it warm, but my guess is that it would also be flavoursome cold with perhaps cucumber, sprouts or baby spinach leaves in a sandwich to take to work next day. I have since come across a similar recipe in an early 1990s Australian Women's Weekly recipe book.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
8 ounces cashew nuts (about 1 cup)
4 ounces fresh breadcrumbs (whole wheat or rye is good)
3 medium parsnips, cooked and mashed
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons nutritional yeast (optional)
1/4 pint hot water
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 ounce butter
8 ounces mushrooms, chopped

Steps:

Pre-heat the oven to 350*F .
Heat the oil and fry the onion and garlic until soft, about 8 minutes. In a food processor, process the cashew nuts until finely ground, then mix with the breadcrumbs. Mix in the mashed parsnips and herbs. Add the onion, and be sure to scrape all the juices into the mixture.
Dissolve the yeast in the water and mix into the vegetable nut mixture. Season well with salt and pepper.
Melt the butter in a skillet and saute the chopped mushrooms until soft, about 10 minutes. Grease a 2-pound loaf pan and press in half the nut mixture. Cover with a layer of mushrooms and top with the rest of the nut mixture.
Press down well. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. When cooked, remove the pan and let stand for 10 minutes before turning onto a plate. Serve hot or cold. Slice to serve. Serve with vegetables or a crisp green salad. This would be good with gravy too. Enjoy!

Tips:

Choose high-quality cashews. Look for natural, unsalted cashews that are free of any additives or preservatives.
Soak the cashews overnight. This will help to soften them and make them easier to blend.
Use a high-powered blender. This will ensure that the cashews are blended until completely smooth and creamy.
Add sweetener to taste. The amount of sweetener you add will depend on your personal preference.
Be careful not to over-bake the loaf. It should be firm to the touch, but still slightly moist in the center.
Let the loaf cool completely before slicing. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.

With its rich flavor and creamy texture, baked cashew loaf is a surefire hit with everyone who tries it.
