Cashew, Brazil Nut, Lentil & Quinoa Nut Roast
Serve with Eat Me I’m Wild Tomato and Cumin Sauce
Healthy and delicious. This recipe was a HUGE hit at the taste testing demonstration at the Maleny Supa IGA, the feedback on the day from the public was amazing, and people even asked me on the day if they could buy this ready made and during the couple of weeks afterwards asked in store where they could buy one too!
I love a nut roast, I have been making nut roasts for years and this one I am really proud of.
It holds it's shape really well, slices easily and tastes best the second day so is a great recipe to make in advance. ENJOY!

Notes
• Serve hot or cold with roast vegetables or salad and mashed potato and the heated Eat Me I’m Wild sauce or even a homemade gravy.
• This nut roast benefits from being allowed to cool and then chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight to really firm up and set, you can then serve cold, which is delicious or re-heat in the oven to serve it warm.
