Wild Mushroom Nut Roast with fluffy quinoa, peanuts, coconut, thyme, oregano, marjoram, garlic and citrus lemon.
Plunge into oblivion. And, salivate.
This dish will obliterate any belief that vegan food can’t be super nourishing.
Make this:
- When you’re planning a lush Sunday roast to tuck into and need a centre piece for your fam
- When it’s the holidays and an exquisite roast that’ll satiate your appetite before you doze off for your afternoon nap is what the doctor ordered
- When you’ve got a busy week ahead and as part of your dinner planning you need a lush roast that’ll keep you going
Wild Mushroom Nut Roast was inspired when having friends over for our annual festivities party. This dish combines intoxicating herbal fragrances that’ll have you drooling. In the absence of turkey at Christmas, a hearty nut roast is a perfect substitute.
Wild Mushroom Nut Roast is vegan and gluten-free.
