does anyone know a recipe for a low calorie nut roast

  • Don't know how many calories in this, but it's a Weight Watcher's recipe, so I guess it will be fairly low calorie.


    Ingredients

    800g (1lb 12/14oz) butternut squash, peeled and chopped

    calorie controlled cooking spray

    150g (5¼oz) cashews

    4 slices Weight Watchers Thick Sliced Wholemeal Loaf

    1 onion, finely chopped

    1 clove garlic, crushed

    1 tsp paprika

    ½ tsp each ground cinnamon and cumin

    400g (14oz) mushrooms, sliced

    100g (3½oz) Weight Watchers Low Fat Soft Cheese with Roasted Onion and Chive

    2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

    Method

    Preheat oven to gas mark 4/180°C/fan oven 160°C.

    Roast the squash, misted with cooking spray, for 30 minutes.

    Blitz the cashews in a processor to chop.

    Blitz the Weight Watchers Thick Sliced Wholemeal Loaf to make crumbs.

    Fry the onion for 5 minutes.

    Add the garlic and spices and fry, stirring, for 1 minute.

    Add the mushrooms and fry, stirring, for 10-15 minutes.

    Mash the squash, then stir in with the Weight Watchers Low Fat Soft Cheese with Roasted Onion and Chive and parsley.

    Add to the nut mixture.

    Press the mixture into a 450g (1lb) loaf tin misted with cooking spray.

    Bake for 1 hour.

    Slice into 16 and serve 2 slices each with roast dinner trimmings.

    Language barrier alert. I did not realize you were asking for a butternut squash recipe. When you asked for nuts, I was thinking pecans, walnuts etc. Silly me
