Vegetarian Nut Roast
I found this recipe on the internet when trying to find something yummy I could make for myself over the Christmas period, as I don't eat meat. What I love about this is that no bread crumbs are used; tofu is used instead. And the addition of the chillis give a nice bit of heat. Just don't judge this recipe on what the roast looks like BEFORE cooking; it's not a pretty sight. But the taste is amazing. Warning: don't let the meat-eaters get hold of this or you just may have to share!
