Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Groceries
• Cookie Sheets
• Mixing Bowls
• Non-stick Loaf Pans
• Saucepans
• Serving Platters
• Wooden Spoons
• 4 1/2 c. cubed bread (divided)
• 3 c. raw cashews
• 1 c. chopped celery
• 3 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
• 5 minced garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice
• 2 tbsp. melted, but not hot, margarine
• 1/2 tsp. marjoram
• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
• 3 finely chopped onions (divided)
• pepper
• 1/2 tsp. sage
• salt
• 1/2 tsp. thyme
• 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1 c. vegetable stock (or water)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
3. Cook 2 c. of the onion and the garlic in the saucepan until tender.
4. Add the cashews and 1 1/2 c. of the bread cubes to the onion.
5. Add vegetable stock, salt, pepper, nutmeg and lemon juice.
6. Place half the bread mixture in a small non-stick loaf pan. Set aside.
7. Toast the 3 remaining cups of bread cubes by putting them in a 300 degree F oven for ten minutes or so. (Don't overtoast them; you just want to dry them out.)
8. Combine toasted bread cubes, margarine, the remaining onion, celery, thyme, marjoram, sage, parsley and salt to taste in a mixing bowl. Put this mixture on top of the mixture already in the loaf pan.
9. Add what is left of the first mixture to the loaf pan so that there are three layers of mixtures.
10. Put the pan on a baking sheet and bake 30 minutes, or until top is browned.
11. Let the roast cool 5 minutes, then turn out onto a serving platter. Serve with gravy, if desired.
