Easy vegan nut roast with tahini gravy - made in a cake tin

  • SHARE
I made a really easy and quick version of a vegan nut roast, complimented by a delicious tahini gravy in a cake tin. This vegan recipe is absolutely boasting with nutrition: almost every ingredient used is super high in protein. My aim was to keep it as simple and cheap as possible so this can become a dinner people can make during the week and, of course, on the weekend (vegan Sunday roast). It's also perfect as a family dinner. Preparations only take about 25 minutes and then the rest is done by your oven.


I wanted to make nut roast for ages but for some reason I was always put off by the amount of ingredients and whether it would all hold together. I admit, I am a lazy chef. That's also one reason why my recipes are so easy because I like to take short cuts to make my busy life easier. So when I looked a vegan recipes for nut roast I still found they were overcomplicated, took ages to make and bake and used ingredients I didn't like. E.g. I found a few recipes using a mix of sweet and savoury ingredients and to me that didn't make sense.


I wanted something easy and delicious. Simple but good food anyone could make and enjoy.


So I experimented and came up with this vegan nut roast recipe. It uses much fewer ingredients than most other recipes, is egg- and dairy-free and if you use gluten-free breadcrumbs you can easily make it gluten-free as well.


I decided to bake the nut roast in a cake baking tin (20cm). It reduced the baking time and most people have one at home.


Then I tried making some different types of gravy but they all seemed to complicate the dish. And I didn't want people having to buy more and more ingredients. So I decided to alter tahini sauce (which is full of iron, calcium and protein) and make it into a gravy and it tasted fantastic. I am really so happy how my vegan nut roast turned out and I hope you like it too!

Drizzle some tahini gravy on top and enjoy! If you buy the organic tahini then the gravy will be darker. I bought a normal one from my local supermarket.

METHOD:


Preheat your oven to 180C (360F).


Step 1:

Mix together all ingredients so that there are no lumps. This is important as the chickpea flour might be bitter and hard to digest if there are lumps left. You can also pour the mixture into a blender and blend if you don't like to do it by hand.


Step 2:

Add in the other step 2 ingredients and mix together well.


You can either buy ready mixed chopped mixed nuts or chop your own. I used a mix of walnuts, hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds and let my food processor do the job for me. You can also let a blender blade do the job for you. Just blend small amounts of nuts for a few seconds . Be be careful though that you don't end up with nut flour.


Pour the mixture into a round baking tin lined with baking paper. I would also recommend greasing the sides with a bit of olive oil. I didn't do it and the roast stuck a bit to the tin.


Even the mixture out with a spatula.


Step 3: Peel 2 carrots and quarter them. Now place the carrot slices on the mixture in a star shape and push them in a bit.


Drizzle some olive oil (or any suitable oil you have available) on top and season to taste with a dash of salt.


Bake in the preheated oven for 45 min.


In the meantime prepare the tahini gravy.


Step 4:

Add all tahini gravy ingredients into a bowl and mix together until you get a nice smooth gravy.


Take the nut roast out of the oven and serve with a nice and refreshing green salad on the side. Pour some tahini gravy on top and enjoy!
