A rich, substantial nut roast (nøddepostej), packed with nuts, mushrooms and plenty of flavour. It makes a good meat-free centrepiece for Christmas dinner – with a generous kale salad, for example – and it is just as much at home on det kolde bord, the traditional Danish cold buffet. Serve it with a good mustard, cornichons and a few fresh herbs.
Use whichever nuts you prefer – I often swap some of the hazelnuts for macadamias, say, and the walnuts for pecans.

Method
- Cook the quinoa according to the packet instructions and drain it thoroughly.
- If your hazelnuts aren’t already toasted, simply tip them into a dry frying pan and toast them over a medium heat until the skins begin to crack, about 8 minutes.Tip the hazelnuts into a clean tea towel and rub off the skins.
- Blitz the nuts finely in a food processor – they should still have some texture. Set aside.
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the mushrooms over a medium-high heat until they have released their liquid.
- Add the onion, garlic and herbs and cook until the onion is translucent.
- Blitz the mushroom mixture to a coarse paste. If you prefer your nut roast finer in texture, simply blitz it until smooth.
- Tip it into a bowl and stir in the quinoa, nuts, parsnip, apple and eggs.
- Add the cream and breadcrumbs and season with salt and plenty of pepper.
- Grease a loaf tin with a little oil and spoon the mixture in – spread it out and press it down lightly with a spoon.
- Bake the nut roast in a preheated conventional oven (top and bottom heat) at 180°C for 30 minutes, then turn the oven up to 200°C and bake for a further 15-20 minutes until the top is a deep golden brown.
- Leave the nut roast to rest for 15 minutes before serving. It can also be served cold.

Skøn nødde postej. Den bedste jeg nogensinde har smagt. Tak for opskriften
Hej Lena
Det var da en dejlig besked at åbne op – tusind tak for de søde ord:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
Er det kun til julen man spiser nøddepostej? Kan man også spise den om sommeren men hvad er tilbehør? 😀 Dine opskrifter ser så spændende ud! Jeg har ikke prøvet dem endnu, men kommer til at prøve dine opskrifter herfra 😉
Hej Gudrun
Jeg ville absolut ikke holde mig tilbage med at servere den om sommeren 🙂
Server den med nogle lækkert brød til, en frisk grov salat eller lignende 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Mums! Jeg brugte mandler i stedet for hasselnødder og jordskokker i stedet for pastinak, og det smagte vildt godt!
Hej Christina
Tusind tak for din feedback og de søde ord 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Kan den fryses?
Hej Sabine
Det kan sagtens fryses ja 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Interessant opskrift, som jeg gerne vil prøve. Hvordan skal persille og timian bruges?
Hej Kristian
Hvor dejligt at høre, tak 🙂
De skal med på panden med løg og hvidløg, det er hermed rettet 🙂
