Steps to make Vegan nut roast:

- Core and rough chop parsnips into 2cm chunks.
- Peel and rough chop carrots into 2cm chunks.
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil and cook carrots for 5 minutes, then add parsnips. Cook for a further 10 minutes or until carrots are just soft enough to mash, then remove from heat and drain.
- Meanwhile, finely chop mushrooms and shallots and gently fry in a medium frying pan with a knob of vegan butter or teaspoon of coconut oil until just beginning to soften. Leave to cool.
- Use a pestle and mortar or end of a rolling pin to crush cashews, walnuts, pumpkin seeds and almonds so that no whole pieces remain - keep chunks for a good texture.
- Add cooked carrots, parsnips, sweet potato to a bowl and lightly mash together.
- Add cooked mushrooms, shallots (and mushroom and butter liquid) and all nuts and seeds to bowl.
- Add nutritional yeast (if using), breadcrumbs, seasonings and salt & pepper to taste.
- Mix well using stick blender, spoon or hands. It should hold its shape. If too wet, add more breadcrumbs or oats.
- Press well into tin and smooth over top.
