Vegan Nut Roast and Gravy

Vegan Nut Roast and Gravy!

This vegan/vegetarian nut roast dish is a perfect meat free option for a traditional Sunday roast and/or a festive season. This dish is a great vegetarian/vegan dish in the absence of meat ! The meaty flavour can be felt from the savoury taste of marmite and yeast! Different nuts e.g. almond and pecans and cashew nuts enriches the dish with its crunchy and nutty texture. Leeks and celery mixed with nuts gives makes this dish flavoursome and moist. Oregano, thyme and parsley are the aromatic herbs used for this dish as they go well together. The base of the gravy is from sautéed vegetables cooked in olive oil and simmered in vegetable stock with a bunch of aromatic fresh herbs i.e. parsley, thyme and oregano. To make the gravy gooey I added corn starch. Don't forget the garnish of the pomegranate on top! :)
