Step 1

In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil on a medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook for 2-4 minutes until soft.

Step 3

Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 8-10 minutes until cooked.

Step 4

Chop the walnuts and add to the mushroom mixture. I like to keep the heat on to ensure a lightly toasted walnut.

Step 5

Switch off the heat from the pan and add the herbs, almond flour, tamari sauce and season with the salt and pepper.

Step 6

If you are using a beaten egg, add this too.

Step 7

Stir well until the ingredients are combined.

Step 8

Grease and line a 1lb loaf tin with parchment paper. Ensure the edges slightly overlap the tin for ease of removing the baked nut loaf.

Step 9

Spoon the nut loaf mixture into the loaf tin and press down firmly.

Step 10

Bake at 180C/350F degrees for 40-45 minutes until the nut loaf is golden and firm.

Step 11

Rest for 10 minutes before turning out of the tin.

Step 12

Slice, serve and enjoy!
