Vegan Strict Vegetarian Nut Roast à La Peta Recipes

VEGAN (STRICT VEGETARIAN) PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375F.
• Blend the tofu in a food processor or with a blender until smooth and cream-like; the blending may take three or four minutes total.
• Stop the machine every once in a while to scrape large pieces of tofu down into the machine's blades.
• Add two heaping cups of cooked pumpkin and blend some more, again stopping the machine and scraping the mixture down.
• The result should be a light orange-colored paste with no lumps of tofu.
• Put the paste into a large mixing bowl and add the sugar, salt, and spices.
• Mix well and spoon it into two pie crusts; top with small bits of crust cut into shapes, if desired.
• Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until the crusts are dark brown (but not burned).

VEGAN (STRICT VEGETARIAN) NUT ROAST à LA PETA

Steps:

• (From the first list:) Cook the onion and garlic in the oil or margarine until tender, and remove from the heat.
• Chop the cashews by hand or in a food processor; cut up the bread as well. Add the cashews and bread to the onion, then add the vegetable stock, salt and pepper, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Put half of this mixture into a small, non-stick loaf pan (or line a regular loaf pan with parchment paper if a non-stick pan is unavailable).
• Mix together all the ingredients from the second list. Put the mixture on top of the stuff in the loaf pan, and add the rest of the first mixture so that there are three layers of food in the pan.
• Place the pan on a baking sheet or in a larger loaf pan (in case it overflows while cooking), and bake at 400 degrees F for half an hour. The top should be browned.
• Let the roast cool for a few minutes, then turn the pan over and serve the roast on a plate (or simply serve it out of the pan). Serve with gravy if desired, keeping in mind that it is a very rich dish.
• Notes:.
• The roast will take about an hour to prepare.
• The stuffing works well on its own -- and I often make extra!
• The roast refrigerates well and can be frozen for a few months and microwaved back to life.
• As shown, recipe makes roughly six servings.
• Vegetable stock is often available in concentrate or as bouillon cubes, in health-food stores and in general grocery stores. If you really can't find it, use water.
• When serving this roast, please inform the diners that the recipe is based on one by PeTA.
• When preparing this recipe and any other food you enjoy, please use organically-grown vegetables, fruits, grains, and flavorings. The Earth you save may be your own.

VEGAN NUT ROAST

Steps:

• Cook the pearl barley with the stock cube according to pack instructions. Reserve 4 tbsp of the cooking stock, then drain the grains well.
• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, then add the parsnips, and cook until really soft. Drain well, tip back into the pan to steam dry for a few minutes, then roughly mash. Mix the ground linseeds with the reserved stock water, and leave to go gluey.
• Put 2 tbsp of the oil in your largest frying pan with the onions and garlic. Fry gently until soft and golden, then stir in the mushrooms, rosemary and sage. Fry the mushrooms until they're golden too, and any liquid that comes out has evaporated. Scrape into a big mixing bowl and set aside to cool.
• Grease a 22-24cm savarin or ring tin generously with oil. If it's not a non-stick tin, line it with thin strips of overlapping baking parchment.
• Add the mashed parsnip, cooked pearl barley, gluey seed mix, grated vegan hard cheese (if using), chopped parsley and whole hazelnuts to the fried mushroom mixture. Season generously with salt, then mix everything together really well.
• Spoon the filling into the tin, and press down firmly to fill the tin and flatten the top. Bake straight away or keep in the fridge for up to 24 hrs before baking.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and cover the tin with foil. Bake for 45 mins, until a skewer poked into the centre of the mixture comes out piping hot.
• Use a small palette knife or cutlery knife to release the filling all the way around, then sit a serving plate on top and flip over. Carefully lift off the tin, and top the wreath with some parsnip crisps if using and whole pumpkin seeds to serve - plus some extra rosemary sprigs if you like. Slice into wedges and enjoy.
