NUT ROAST

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/ fan 160C/ gas 4 and line the base and sides of a 1.5 litre loaf tin with parchment paper.
• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 15g butter in a large frying pan and cook 1 finely chopped large onion and 2 finely chopped celery sticks for about 5 mins until beginning to soften.
• Stir in 2 finely chopped garlic cloves and 200g finely chopped chestnut mushrooms and cook for a further 10 mins.
• Stir in 1 finely diced red pepper and 1 grated carrot and cook for about 3 mins then add 1 tsp dried oregano and 1 tsp smoked paprika and cook for just a minute.
• Add 100g red lentils and 2 tbsp tomato purée and cook for about 1 min, then add 300ml vegetable stock and simmer over a very gentle heat until all the liquid has been absorbed and the mixture is fairly dry. This should take about 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Finally, stir in 100g fresh breadcrumbs, 150g chopped mixed nuts, 3 lightly beaten large eggs, 100g grated mature cheddar, a handful of finely chopped flat-leaf parsley and a pinch of salt and some ground black pepper.
• Stir to mix well then spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and press down the surface.
• Cover with foil and bake for 30 mins, then remove the foil and bake for a further 20 mins until firm when pressed gently.
• Meanwhile, to make the sauce, heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil very gently then add 2 finely sliced garlic cloves and 1 rosemary sprig and heat without colouring.
• Pour in 400ml passata and add a pinch of salt and some ground black pepper. Simmer gently for just 15 mins.
• Allow the loaf to cool in the tin for about 10 mins then turn out onto a serving board or plate. Remove the baking paper and cut into slices and serve with a little of the tomato sauce.
• To make a vegan nut roast, use an extra tbsp of oil in place of butter, no cheese and 3 tbsp egg replacer. Bake your nut roast for 1 hour. The loaf will still be soft in the middle after cooking.
• It can be cooked in advance and then chilled, sliced and reheated to make it easier to serve.

NO-FUSS POT ROAST WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (See below for instructions for using a crock-pot).
• In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat and then brown the roast all over. This sears in the juices and releases some of the fat so you get a moister roast as an end result.
• In a small bowl mix together the beef broth, coffee, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic. Wait on preparing the carrots and potatoes till a bit later.
• Spray a dutch oven or large roasting pan lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place roast in center of pan and pour broth mixture around the roast. Place the sliced onions around the roast.
• Cover and bake 2 1/2 hours. At about the 2 hour mark prepare and cut your vegetables.
• Add sliced carrots and potatoes to the sides of the roast. Cover and bake another 1-1 1/2 hours (until vegetables are tender and roast is finished).
• Remove beef and vegetables from the roasting pan to a platter and keep warm (cover with foil).
• Skim fat from drippings left in the roasting pan and keep drippings warm (not boiling - just lightly simmering).
• Whisk the flour and water together until smooth. Add at very small increments to the simmering drippings and whisk constantly to keep smooth and lump free. The key to this is not boiling the liquid but keeping at a nice simmer. Continue cooking 2-4 minutes until it is smooth and nicely blended. Remove from heat.
• Slice beef thinly and serve with the vegetables and gravy.
• CROCKPOT METHOD:.
• Spray crock lightly. Place onions, carrots and potatoes in the bottom of the crock. Place roast on top of the vegetables. Pour broth mixture around the roast.
• Cover with lid and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours.
