Keith’s Vegan Nut Roast

2 tbsp linseed ground
100g chestnuts ground
75 ml water

• Grind the linseeds in an electric spice grinder until they are a powder.
• Mix in the cold water and stir. The linseeds go thick and gloppy a bit like an egg. This helps hold the roast together.
• Mash the chestnuts in a large pestle and mortar.

• Bake in a lined loaf tin for 40 minutes
