How to Make Cashew Mushroom Loaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-pound loaf pan.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until softened, about 8 minutes.
  3. In a food processor, grind cashews until finely ground. Combine with breadcrumbs in a large bowl.
  4. Add mashed parsnips and fresh herbs to the cashew-breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Stir in the cooked onion and garlic, scraping any juices from the skillet into the bowl.
  6. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add to the vegetable and nut mixture.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  8. Melt butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add chopped mushrooms and sauté until softened, about 10 minutes.
  9. Press half of the cashew mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
  10. Layer the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the cashew mixture.
  11. Top with the remaining cashew mixture, pressing down firmly.
  12. Cover the loaf pan with foil.
  13. Bake for 1 hour, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  14. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before carefully turning out onto a plate.
  15. Slice and serve hot or cold.
  16. Serve with roasted vegetables, a crisp green salad, or a flavorful gravy.
