Method

  1. Pre- heat your oven to 180°. Heat the olive oil in a medium pan, add the onion and fry gently on a low heat for around 10 minutes until soft and browning. Add the garlic and fry for a further minute.
  2. Next add the squash and mushrooms and fry for 10 minutes until soft. Stir in the kale and turn off the heat when wilted.
  3. Meanwhile, toast the hazelnuts, sunflower seeds and pine nuts in a dry pan until slightly golden. Add to a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add them to the pan along with the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
  4. Transfer the mix to a medium greased Bundt tin, if you have one, a silicone tin will make it easier to remove the nut roast. Press the mix down firmly into the tin.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes until browned. Allow to cool then carefully flip onto a plate.
  6. Top with fresh herbs and cranberries and serve warm.

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree — that’s all.
