Directions

FOR THE SAUCE

1. Place wheat in a mixing bowl and pour on the boiling water and soya sauce. Cover and let swell for 25 minutes. Grind nuts and seeds to a medium fine consistency. Mix together with the wheat. Stir in the parsley, thyme, onions, eggs and oil. Mix well and allow to stand.

2. Oil a large baking sheet and line with greaseproof paper. Form a loaf shape with the nut mixture, about 10cm wide, press firmly together and prick the top with a fork. Pour on a little oil and sprinkle with some extra nuts (optional) and cap loosely with a foil hood. Bake in oven 190øC/375øF/Gas Mark 5 for 40 minutes.

3. Take off hood, baste with oil on baking sheet and continue to bake for a further 10 minutes. Place in a large serving dish, then cool, easing off the paper as you do so. Cover with the hood until ready to garnish.
