Method
1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees, grease & line a tin of your choice I used a circular smooth Bundt style tin however a loaf tin works well.
2. Preheat a large saucepan over a medium heat & add the olive oil. Sauté the onion, garlic, pepper, leek, squash, mushrooms & chestnuts for 2 minutes. Stirring often.
3. After a few minutes of cooking, add the spices, herbs, some seasoning & lemon zest.
4. Turn the heat down, and allow to cook for 8-10 minutes. Stirring every now and then. You just want all the flavours to marry together & the vegetables to slightly soften.
5. Whilst the vegetables are cooking, blitz the nuts until they are a crumb like consistency.
6. To a bowl add the nuts, lentils, breadcrumbs, cranberries, apricots & tomatoes. Once the vegetables have softened add them too the bowl. Mix everything together and stir in the balsamic & Miso Paste.
7. Compact the mix into your lined tin. Compress it down as much as you can. Once you've filled your tin, cover it over with foil then place in the oven to roast for 30-35 minutes.
8. Meanwhile to make the cranberry sauce, add all the ingredients to a heavy based saucepan & mix everything together then place over a low heat, allow to cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring often. Once cooked place in a clean jar until ready to serve.
9. Once the roast is cooked, allow it to cool for 5 minutes before turning it out of your tin. Serve with the cranberry sauce & fried sage leaves.
10. Enjoy!
