A meat-free alternative to our Sunday roast. This was really tasty (even the kids ate it). I wanted to be able to cut neat slices and it was too crumbly for that, but even so I'll make it again. This is also a great recipe for using up leftover cranberry sauce from Christmas. I served it with roast potatoes, veg and stuffing with loads of gravy and a caramelised onion chutney.
