Out there in the ether is a cook book. It’s name escapes me. It’s a vegetarian cook book. It’s appallingly laid out. So much so that it is nearly impossible to browse. Not a photo or illustration to be seen and set out in columns. It does contain some gold if you have the stamina to look. All of which is somewhat irrelevant to me at the moment as I can’t remember who I lent it to.
One recipe that I have made a few times in the past from the absent book is a silverbeet and cashew loaf. Tonight, I approximated what I could remember of this little gem. I also remember very much enjoying the leftovers on toast with cheese melted on top.
Silverbeet and Cashew Loaf
15 large silverbeet leaves
2 sprigs torn oregano
1 onion, diced
4 baby garlic shoots, sliced
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 1/2 cups cashews
3 small eggs
100g crumbled blue cheese
seasoning
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees
- Combine everything well in a large bowl
- Press firmly into a greased loaf pan
- Bake for 1 hour. Stand for 10 minutes before turning out of pan.
- Slice and serve
I served this with some leftover gravy. Strangely good.
Sounds yummy . . . but have the cashews been left out?
very good point Fig! Thanks, will go and edit : D
Sounds strange, but sure to be yummy. You must have a good crop of silverbeet.
Don’t you hate it when people permanently borrow – I bought a 2nd hand book recently to replace one that has stayed in someone else’s library.

Very yummy T’Mixer. Not too strange, just a slightly different take on a standard vegetarian nut loaf. I have silverbeet from here to eternity. Crazy amounts. The book thing is frustrating, at least it wasn’t a favourite.
Wow, bleu cheese. That’s pretty powerful. I was thinking more grated PR.

Actually the bleu was a new addition Nate. I was pretty happy with the result. I’m cheese freak, I was unlikely to be unhappy. Actually I think the original had no cheese and it did have a big dollop of vegemite.
