Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 medium Carrot
- 1 large Celery stalk
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 150 grams Button mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 200 grams Assorted mixed nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts)
- 100 grams Fresh breadcrumbs
- 200 grams Halloumi cheese
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 50 ml Milk
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a loaf tin with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Finely chop the onion, garlic, carrot, celery, red bell pepper, and mushrooms. Add them to the skillet, stirring occasionally, and cook for about 10 minutes until softened.
Add the paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the vegetables and stir well. Cook for another 2 minutes to release the spices' aroma. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a food processor, pulse the mixed nuts until coarsely ground. Alternatively, you can chop them by hand for a chunkier texture.
Grate the halloumi cheese and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, ground nuts, breadcrumbs, halloumi cheese, eggs, tomato paste, milk, and chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf tin, pressing it down gently to ensure there are no air pockets and the surface is even.
Cover the loaf tin with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Once baked, remove the nut and halloumi roast from the oven and allow it to rest in the tin for 10 minutes.
Carefully lift the loaf out of the tin using the parchment paper and transfer it to a serving plate. Slice and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
