• 1 medium onion
• 1 oz butter
• 8 oz mixed nuts such as peanuts, cashews, walnuts, etc

• ½ pint vegetable stock
• 2 tsp yeast extract
• 1 tsp mixed herbs

Instructions

 

• Chop the onions finely and cook them in the butter until transparent.
• Blend the nuts and bread together in a liquidiser until you get them to a fine consistency. Pulse the liquidiser if the mixture looks like it is forming clumps.
• Heat the stock and yeast extract to boiling point, then combine all the ingredients together and mix well. The mixture should be fairly loose.
• Turn into a greased shallow baking dish and make the surface as level as possible. Then sprinkle with a few breadcrumbs.
• Bake in the oven at 180C, gas 5 for 30 minutes until golden brown.
