Artisan Grains Mediterranean Nut Roast

Vegan Nut Roastartisan_med_tom

A mediterranean sundried tomato nut roast from Artisan Grains.   Made with cashews, peanuts, sundried tomatoes and Italian herbs.

These nut roasts remind me of the Granose nut roast which have been discontinued.  They are very easy to make,  you add water and bake in the little tray supplied.  The texture is great, you can slice it very easily without it falling apart. The flavour is really pleasant the sun-dried tomatoes provide pockets of really intense tomato flavour.   There is also a little background heat in it and I was surprised to see chilli isn’t an ingredient, so this might come from the paprika or peppers.  Really enjoyable on sandwiches, with chips or with salads.

Artisan Grains Nut Roast

Vegan Nut Roastartisan_veg_cashew

A country veg & cashew nut roast from Artisan Grains.  This is a new brand to me,  I found it in an independent health food shop.  I was very pleased to find this nutroast especially because the Granose nut roast that I used to have often, has been discontinued.

The nut roast is very easy to make up,  you just add water and bake.   It is quite similar to the the old Granose version but with a heavier flavour of sage. The nut roast has a good texture and easy to slice when cooked.  I also like the non stick container, which you bake the nut roast in, it works a treat.  I love nut roasts on sandwiches, on a Sunday roast dinner and it works with chips and salads too.  I am glad to have this option back, from a new supplier.nutroast_prod

Each 200gram mix is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Per 1/3 of the loaf is 310kcal.  High in fibre and protein.   Contains peanuts.   I got mine in a independent health food shop.

Morrisons Butternut Squash Nut Roast

Vegan Squash & Nut Roast

A nut roast made with nuts and butternut squash with vegetables from Morrisons Supermarket.  The pack contains two good size roasts.  They take around 30 minutes in the oven to cook from frozen,  I often microwave this kind of thing for a minute and then put it in the oven to finish it off,  then it cooks in around 10 minutes,  saves time and energy.  The roasts are OK,  they have a fairly standard texture of squashed up veggies with some crunchy nuts shaped into rounds.  The flavour is again OK, not the best or the worst I have tried.  They are a bit onion heavy.  I like them with a Sunday dinner type meal,  but they would go well with some salad, stir fry veg or with some chips.

Each 280gram pack of 2 nut roasts are suitable for vegetarians, vegan as far as I can tell.   Per roast is 204kcal.  Sold in the freezer section of Morrisons supermarkets.

Goodlife Root Vegetable Roasts

Vegan Roast

Root vegetable roasts with a fruit Cumberland sauce from Goodlife.  A vegan vegetable and nut roast that tastes OK,  it is not my favourite veggie nut roast but still is a change.  The roast tastes fine,  the texture is firm.  The Cumberland sauce is very sharp,  I did not really like this,  but I do think other people would.  This would make a good choice for a vegan Sunday Lunch or a Vegan Christmas Dinner.

Each 360gram pack of two roasts is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Soya Free.  Per roast is 299kcal.  Cooked in the oven.  Sold in health food shops.

Sainsburys Roasted Butternut Squash Roast

Vegan Butternut Squash and Nut Roast

From the taste the difference range at Sainsburys, roasted butternut squash, nut and seed roast.   They say it is a superior roast,  I have to disagree,  this is perfectly adequate.  The roast is just squashed veg with some nuts and seeds roasted.  The flavour is OK,  but it definitely needs something with it,  for example gravy or tomato ketchup.  I found it quite boring,  I personally prefer the Granose Nut Roast I reviewed earlier.

This is the type of thing I can imagine people getting in for Christmas dinner when they have vegans visiting for lunch and they have not a clue what to provide,  so it does have a good purpose.

Each pack of 2 roasts is suitable for vegans and vegetarians,  Per bake is 351kcal.  Made with vegetables and almonds.  Sold in the freezer section in Sainsburys.

Granose Chicken Style Roast Mix

Vegan Chicken Style Roast

Meat free roast chicken style flavour roast mix from Granose.  To me this basically tastes like their standard nut roast with chicken style flavouring similar to chicken crisps.  The texture is firm and you can slice it.  The taste is OK for a change but I do prefer the original nut roast.  Perfect for a Sunday lunch or for sandwiches.  It takes much longer to cook than they say on the packet.

Each 150gram pack contains 2 sachets.  Vegetarian Society Approved, vegan as far as I can tell.  Per 143gram serving is 226kcal.  Sold in health food shops.

Their standard nut roast is my preference which I reviewed earlier.

Granose Lentil & Vegetable Roast Mix

Vegan Sunflower Seed, Lentil and Vegetable Roast

From Granose a lentil and vegetable roast with sunflower seeds.   This is a dry mix that you add water to and then bake for 20mins.  The flavour is pleasant it has a Mediterranean flavour as it has peppers in the mix.  The texture is just like most nut roast mixes firm but easy to crumble and eat.  I personally prefer the standard nut roast that Granose make, but this was a nice change.  This would work well with salad or some stir fry vegetables.  On the pack they suggest stuffing and baking it into some peppers.

Each 150gram pack of two 75gram sachets is suitable for vegans as far as I can tell, Vegetarian Society Approved.  Has no artificial colours or flavours.  Per 100gram cooked is 185kcal.  With added B vitamins including B12.   Sold in the health food shops.

Granose Mixed Nut Roast Mix

Nut Roast

Since becoming veggie many years ago one food stuff has stayed with me, that I have again and again is this Granose Nut Roast.

I love Sunday Lunch and this nut roast is perfect for the job.  You can have it with a full Sunday lunch, it is great with mashed potato and gravy,  Its good with Chips, Salads and I really like it on Sandwiches. You can serve it hot or cold, so its great for packed lunches.  You can store in Fridge for up to 3 days after making.  When it is cooking you feel so hungry because the smell is divine.

So easy to make, you just add water and stir and oven cook it for approx 25 mins.  Sometimes I like to add a little red wine instead of all the water and I also like to add some thyme or mixed herbs.  The packet says to cook it for 20 mins but I find it takes a little longer than that.

The texture is like you would expect nutty and crumbly and the taste is nice and savoury.

Each pack contains 2 servings,  It is Dairy Free and Vegan.  It is made with fortified vitamins including, Iron, B vitamins including B12 and Cashews and Peanuts.  It is Vegetarian Society Approved.  Each 116gram serving is 324Kcal.

I would highly recommend this Vegan Nut Roast.
