Servings: persons

2 tablespoons sesame or 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup risotto rice
1 1/4 cups vegetable stock, for loaf
1 large carrot, grated
1 large leek, trimmed and finely chopped
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted
3/4 cup chopped almonds, toasted
1/2 cup ground almonds
3/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon dried herbs
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 small onion, chopped finely
1 1/4 cups mushrooms, chopped finely
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups vegetable stock, for sauce

1
Heat oil in a large skillet and fry the onion gently for 2-3 minutes. Add the rice and cook slowly for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently.
2
Add the vegetable stock, bring to a boil and then simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Add a little extra water if necessary. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
3
Add the carrot, leak, sesame seeds, almonds, cheese, eggs and herbs to the mixture. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a greased 1 lb loaf pan, levelling the surface. Bake in a preheated oven at 350-F degrees for about 1 hour, until set and firm. Leave in the pan for 10 minutes.
4
To make sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan and fry the onion until dark golden brown. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 2 minutes. Stir in flour, cook slowly for 1 minute and then gradually add the stock. Bring to boil, stirring constantly, until thickened and blended. Season to taste.
5
Turn out the nut roast, slice and serve on warmed plates with fresh vegetables, accompanied by the sauce. Garnish with sprigs of Italian parsley if desired.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
