How to Make Layered Cashew And Mushroom Nut Roast

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the cashew base: In a food processor, combine 1 cup raw cashews, ½ cup vegetable broth, 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon dried sage, and ½ teaspoon salt. Process until a smooth paste forms.
  3. Sauté the mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add 1 small onion, chopped, and cook for another 3-5 minutes until softened. Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  4. Assemble the roast: In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spread half of the cashew base. Layer the sautéed mushroom mixture evenly over the cashew base. Top with the remaining cashew base and spread evenly.
  5. Bake: Bake for 90-105 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with our vegetarian gravy (recipe #243433).
  6. Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme before serving.
