I know that there are many different types of mixtures, but I would like a moist tasty recipe... Any ideas?

glenda, i'm thinking this is one of those things that are getting misunderstood in crossing the atlantic. i don't know what it is, to give you a recipe. at least not by that name. can you help?

Glenda If your talking about a loaf of sorts,, I think I know what you mean,
A lady at work that is a vegetarian brought a loaf to work,, She calls it a nut Loaf,
I have to admit, I didn't want to try it, But when I did,,and It was okay , I don't like mushrooms so it didn't do much for me,, BUt I have to admit, it was with good flavor and moist! ,, She says she uses it in place of meats and it can be eaten at any meal, and even slices it thin to eat with crackers or biscuits or have as a sandwich, or breaks it up in salad,,,,,,, She had recipe cards already made up ,, she says once someone trys it they want her recipe! I doubt I will ever make it But I took a card anyway,,
Is this the same thing your talking about??

1 1/2 cups finely chopped leeks
1/4 cup oil (I used about half that)
6 medium mushrooms, finely chopped
4 plum s tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1 cup ground almonds
1 cup ground cashews
1 cup ground hazelnuts
1/2 cup sunflower seed meats
1 large green apple, cored and grated
1 1/2 cups small breadcrumbs( soft is better)
3 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon sage
3 eggs slightly beaten,, Or egg substitute equivalent to 3 eggs
3 tablespoon tamari (or soy sauce)

Directions:

Gently saute leeks in oil until soft but not browned. Put them into a large bowl and add all remaining ingredients except for Eggs and tamari. Mix well. Add Eggs and tamari to other ingredients, stir well, and allow to stand for 10 minutes.

Firmly pack into oiled loaf pan. Place loaf pan in a baking dish, and add water halfway up the loaf pan. (You might need to replenish the water bath while baking). Bake at 400 F for 1 hour, then reduce heat to 350F for another 1 1/2 hours. The top should be dark brown but not black. Allow roast to stand for five minutes before loosening sides and turning out onto serving platter.
The Apple is Key in this recipe,

If this isn't what a nut roast is, would you please explain??

YES! That is it.
I am a vegetarian, I used to regularly cook a nut roast, then I stopped, lost the recipe and tried a few diferent ones, but none were moist.
This looks vaguely familiar, I shall have a go with it. THANK YOU.
