Ultimate Nut Roast
I rarely choose nut roast in a restaurant because they are usually dry and tasteless. This is amazing! I make a batch, slice it into about 8 and freeze for another day. A great way to get plant based protein. You can use it for a roast dinner, have it with a salad for lunch or take it on a picnic and eat it cold.
