nut roast

Meatless holiday loaf

A nut roast is a vegetarian dish of mixed nuts, vegetables, and herbs baked into a loaf, typically served as a main course.

It emerged as a meatless alternative to traditional roast dinners, especially at Christmas and Thanksgiving: The vegetarians are having nut roast instead of turkey.

The dish has become somewhat emblematic of vegetarian cooking generally.
