Ingredients

  • 40g/1¾oz dried porcini
  • 300ml/10½fl oz hot water from the kettle
  • 250g/9oz chestnut mushrooms
  • 150g/5oz chestnuts
  • 1 x 400g/14oz tin flageolet beans
  • 100g/3½oz Macadamia
  • 1 free-range egg
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 100g/3½oz breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp ground nut
  • 200g/7oz kale

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Grease a baking tray with oil.
  • Soak the porcini mushrooms in the water in a small bowl for ten minutes.
  • Add the chestnut mushrooms, chestnuts, flageolet beans and macadamia nuts to a food processor. Blend for a short amount of time, until you have a rough paste with a little texture.
  • Drain the porcini, reserving the soaking liquid (use this for another dish, like mushroom risotto or soup). Add the porcini to the food processor and blend again.
  • Tip the contents of the food processor into a large bowl and mix in the egg, honey and soy sauce. Finally, add the breadcrumbs and stir well.
  • Shape into patties using your hands and place onto the oiled baking tray. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, but watch them carefully.
  • Meanwhile cook the kale in a covered pan with a few tablespoons of the reserved porcini stock for five minutes, or until tender.
  • Serve the nut roast patties with the kale alongside.
