We've been enjoying some proper Summer weather here in Cumbria this week and the rambling roses spilling over the hedge from next door look beautiful. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to sit and smell the roses as the weather was also perfect for those outdoor jobs. I spent most of the weekend with paintbrush in hand, or pegging out another load of washing! Still we did have time for a picnic tea which included a vegetarian Savoury Nut Slice. This is really easy to make, perfect with some mixed salad and chutneys, and any leftovers are great in lunch boxes the next day.
Savoury Nut Slice
- 1 onion
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
- 50g butter or margarine
- 1 tbsp gluten free plain flour
- 150ml milk
- 225g mixed nuts, grated (I used 100g Brazil nuts, 60g almonds and 60g cashews which I ground up using the electric grinder attachment on my blender)
- 125g gluten free brown breadcrumbs (I used a couple of DS Brown Ciabatta rolls which have a really nice flavour)
- 2 eggs
- salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 180C / Gas 4. Grease and line a 20cm / 8in sandwich tin.
- Chop the onion and fry in the butter with the herbs for around 10 minutes. Stir in the flour and milk, allow to thicken, then add all the other ingredients.
- Press into tin and level surface. Bake for 35-40 mins until golden brown.
- Serve cold with mixed salads, including something creamy such as coleslaw or potato salad.
