This was made as a birthday dinner for an ill Ian with very little appetite. I wasn’t feeling great either, and didn’t really feel like eating. This explains the lack of green veg or gravy with the meal – I plain forgot that it would make it a better meal, and neither of us really felt like eating, let alone going back to the shop for more food. Strange really, as we munched our way through more than a plateful each when it was put in front of us. Something to do with the SUPER MEGA DELICIOUSNESS of it! Needless to say, we were revived after our meal and proceeded to take over the world.
The nutroast was made from a packet of mixed nuts, ground finely with a coffee grinder. This was added to fried onion, garlic, courgette (grated) and American jerk flavouring. One of the reasons I bought it was because I wondered what an American jerk might taste like… Ha. Ha-ha. Jokes.
The mixture was baked until it was hard and starting to brown.
The vegetables were cut up into reasonable sized pieces, placed on a baking tray and balsamic vinegar, honey , sea salt and olive oil sprinkled over. They needed about an hour to roast nicely, and I added garlic towards the end. I saved the beetroot stalks for another meal, and boy! was it worth it. They are tasty and make things pink. Excellent.
