Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Lightly oil then line the base of a 900g/2lb loaf tin with baking paper. Rinse the lentils, then add to the veg with the oregano and 250ml water. Simmer for 20 mins, stirring often, until the lentils are tender and all the liquid is absorbed The texture also felt more premium than other nut roasts on offer, with huge chunks of nuts, pulses, sweet potato and plump fruit providing something new to discover in each bite. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and gently fry the onion, celery, leek and carrots for 5 minutes, or until softened, stirring regularly. Add the garlic and cook for a few seconds more. The filling is tasty with a Moroccan-style spicing according to Waitrose. Not all our tasters were convinced by the pastry, however, with some finding it too bready in the centre of the swirl.

Simply put, it's a nut roast but in a ring shape. But it's so much more than that, and our tasters really liked it. Crunchy nuts, tasty herbs and a delicious cranberry glaze that's drizzled on top during cooking make it a lovely, if rather pricey, vegan option. It slices easily, too, although our tasters were crying out for some gravy to really tie the flavours together. Whether catering for a vegan family member, or feeding a whole table of vegetarians, there’s no need to limit them to a plate of roast potatoes (as delicious as that may be). It's a worthy centrepiece and a great stand-in for a real turkey joint, so if you're serving both alongside one another the vegetarians will not feel short-changed. The strong herby taste of the stuffing inside the impressively textured soy-based protein makes it a crowd pleaser, and the sprig of thyme on top gives it that extra attention to detail that Christmas is all about.Nut roast is a favourite for a reason.
