Food Monday ~ Lazy Nut Loaf

When a Toyboy asks, how can I refuse?

Conor asked for more vegetarian recipes so today I have a simple nut loaf. I do have another more elaborate one but will keep it until later in the year.

Lazy Nut Loaf

1 Small Onion

8ozs Mixed Nuts

1 Stick Celery

1½ lbs Potatoes (Cooked and Mashed)

¼ teaspoon Nutmeg

1 tablespoon Tomato Puree

1 teaspoon Herbs of your choice

1 Beaten Egg

    Looks delicious! Grannymar

    I like having free rein when it comes to a ‘dash’ of sherry! ;-)

    Did you mean such a high temp oven? I would have expected to cook it on medium over that length of time?

    Morning Steph,

    I reduced the temp to 180°C and think that might be low enough.

    Sounds good! GM

    We don’t want things getting too hot and steamy in the kitchen! *cough*

    Grannymar,

    I saw a piece with the founder of this website in Saturday’s FT,

    http://www.toyboywarehouse.com/

    It would give you a guaranteed supply of recipe requests.

    I like easy dishes and have been cooking a lot more vegetarian dishes lately so I will keep this one up my sleeve (so to speak)!
