Chunky Nut & Vegetable Roast

I am a long term vegetarian and love nut roasts but very rarely make them. The Vegetarian Society give this recipe for an easy chunky nut and vegetable roast:

Ingredients

1 carrot, scraped
1 onion, peeled
1 stick celery
200g mixed nuts (e.g. almonds, peanuts, brazil nuts)
2tsp Marmite
2 free range eggs
1 or 2 tsp mixed herbs
salt & pepper
Dried breadcrumbs (for coating tin)

Method

1. Set oven at 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5.
Put all the ingredients into a food processor and process until vegetables and nuts are chopped into chunky pieces.
Put into a bowl and mix with remaining ingredients.

2. Line a 450g/1lb loaf tin with a strip of non-stick paper, grease well and sprinkle with dry breadcrumbs.
Spoon mixture into tin and level the top.

3. Bake uncovered for 45 mins until set.

Serves 4.

Haven't made this yet but looks so easy I'm going to give it a go. The Vegetarian Society list it as a recipe for new vegetarians but us oldies can learn a thing or two too.
