Ingredients
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup almonds
- 1/4 cup cashews
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 small carrot, grated

- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs

Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure it’s sizzling hot!
- In a food processor, pulse the walnuts, almonds, and cashews until coarsely ground—think chunky, not dust.
- Transfer the nut mixture to a mixing bowl. None of that pre-packaged nonsense!
- Add the finely chopped onion, grated carrot, and minced garlic to the bowl. Give it a gentle stir.
- Pour in the olive oil, soy sauce, and add the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle in the dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. You’ve basically made a nut party!
- Grease a small loaf pan or mini baking dish with a dab of olive oil.
- Spoon the mixture into the loaf pan, pressing gently to even it out. Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty!
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Yes, patience is a virtue!
Suggestions
- Alternative ingredients: Use pecans or hazelnuts instead of walnuts or cashews for a different nutty note.
- Garnishing options: Top with a drizzle of vegan gravy or a sprinkle of fresh parsley to add a pop of color and flavor.
- Cooking tips: For extra moisture, add a spoonful of apple sauce to the mixture. Feeling fancy? Toss in some chopped mushrooms too!
