Tips
Variations:
- Nut Loaf with cheese & avocado layer: Make as basic recipe but only add 3-4 tbs of stock to give firmer mixture. Grease 1lb loaf tin. Put in half the mix. Cover with 2 sliced tomatoes & 2 oz grated cheese. Top with remaining mixture. Bake as above. Leave to cool in tin. Remove carefully. Wrap in cling film or greaseproof. Put in fridge. Cut in slices.
- Rissoles: Basic mix but shape into 6 "cakes". Coat with wholemeal breadcrumbs. Fry in shallow oil 3-4 mins each side. Serve hot or cold.
- Cottage pie: Basic mix but add enough stock to give loose texture.
