This recipe was given to me by a fellow Kiwi surfer. I have yet to try it, but it sounds good, and apparently it tastes good too. I think it comes out kind of like a meatloaf but with no meat, or perhaps like a loaf of bread, I'm not 100% sure, but I am told it's good hot or cold. If you get around to making it before I do, please comment how it came out.

1 medium onion chopped
1-2 cloves of garlic
1 tbsp olive or sunflower oil
450g carrots, cooked or mashed (keep the water you boiled them in for stock)
225g cashew nuts, ground
2 cups fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs
1½ tsp caraway seeds
1 tsp marmite or vegemite
juice of ½ a lemon
75ml stock from the carrots
salt and pepper to season

Fry onions and garlic in a pan until onion is soft. Remove from heat and transfer into a large mixing bowl.
Add all the other ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Place mixture into a greased loaf tin and level off the surface.
Cover with tin foil and bake at 180°C / 350°F for an hour.
Remove foil and bake for a further 10 minutes.
Leave to stand in loaf tin for at least 10 minutes before turning out.
Serve in slices with roast potatoes, salad, garlic bread etc.
