Serves 4

Ingredients

1 medium sized onion
25g (1oz) butter or margarine
225g (8oz) mixed nuts - peanuts, walnuts, cashews etc.
100g (4oz) wholemeal bread
300ml (1/2 pt) vegetable stock or water
10ml (2tsp) yeast extract
5ml (1tsp) mixed herbs
Salt and pepper to taste

• Chop the onions and sauté in the butter until transparent.
• Grind the nuts and bread together in a liquidizer until quite fine.
• Heat the stock and yeast extract to boiling point, then combine all the ingredients together and mix well – the mixture should be fairly slack.
• Turn into a greased shallow baking dish, level the surface, sprinkle with a few breadcrumbs, and bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F/ Mark 4) for 30 minutes, until golden brown.
