How to make vegan roast: tips and tricks

• It’s important to let the vegan roast set properly, preferably overnight. If you cut it too early, it might fall apart, as it is very tender to begin with.
• Taste the roast mixture before putting it in the baking dish and season it more if needed.
• Lentils will work instead of beans, but you should cook them beforehand according to package directions.
• In addition to paprika, chili flakes and pepper, you can add other spices to your taste.
• In addition to spices, various herbs also taste delicious in vegan roast.
• If you like it less spicy, add a little less chili flakes than indicated in the recipe below.
• Instead of walnuts, you can also use other nuts, almonds or seeds of your choice.
• You can omit celery depending on your taste. You can also add other vegetables, such as carrots or peppers. You can also add mushrooms or other fungi.
• Be careful not to use too many vegetables, otherwise the vegan roast will not be firm.
• Chop the bean-vegetable mixture only coarsely, so that you have whole pieces and no mush.
• If you are changing ingredients, for example adding more vegetables, it is important that your mixture does not become too watery.
• For baking, you’ll need an approx. 11 cm x 25 cm loaf pan.
• Be sure to line the baking pan with baking paper, leaving an overhang so you can easily remove the meatless roast later.
• You should store the leftover bean roast in the refrigerator. It will keep for about 5 days. You can warm up the roast slices in the oven or in a pan with some vegetable oil before serving.
• You can also freeze the vegetarian roast and let it thaw before serving and then just reheat it. Slice it before freezing.
