Method
- Chop the onions finely and cook them in the butter until transparent.
- Blend the nuts and bread together in a liquidiser until you get them to a fine consistency. Pulse the liquidiser if the mixture looks like it is forming clumps.
- Heat the stock and yeast extract to boiling point, then combine all the ingredients together and mix well. The mixture should be fairly loose.
- Turn into a greased shallow baking dish and make the surface as level as possible. Then sprinkle with a few breadcrumbs.
- Bake in the oven at 180C, gas 5 for 30 minutes until golden brown.
