For The Stuffing
Servings:
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400˚F and line a 1lb loaf pan with a long strip of nonstick paper; use some of the butter to grease the tin and paper well.
  2. Melt most of the remaining butter in a medium sized saucepan, add the onion and fry for about 10 minutes until tender but not browned. Remove from the heat.
  3. Grind the cashew nuts in a food processor with the bread and garlic, and add to the onion, together with the water or stock, salt, pepper, grated nutmeg and lemon juice to taste.
  4. Mix all the stuffing ingredients together.
  5. Put half the cashew nut mixture into the prepared pan, top with the stuffing, then spoon the rest of the nut mixture on top.
  6. Dot with the remaining butter. Stand the pan in another pan to catch any butter which may ooze out, and bake for about 30 minutes, or until firm and lightly browned. (Cover the roast with foil if it gets too brown before then.)
  7. Cool for a minute or two in the tin, then slip a knife around the sides, turn out the nut roast and strip off the paper.
  8. Decorate with sprigs of parsley and small slices of lemon, and surround with roast potatoes, if you're serving them.

Instructions
  1. Wash artichokes well and cut off stem close to base. Have ready a bowl of cold water with the juice of 1 lemon and some lemon slices added.
  2. If desired stir in 2-3 tablespoons flour as this is quite effective in preventing discoloration.
  3. As each artichoke is prepared, rub cut surfaces with a lemon slice from the bowl and place in bowl until all are prepared. Cook as soon as possible after preparation.
  4. Remove 3 or 4 layers of leaves until the tender inner leaves remain. Scoop out choke and pink thorny leaves from centre, using a spoon or melon ball scoop. Cut in half.
  5. In a large pan gently fry spring onion in oil until soft.
  6. Add juice of 1/2 lemon, water, about 2 teaspoons salt and a good grinding of pepper. Bring to the boil.
  7. Drain prepared artichokes and add to pan with dill. Return to a slow simmer, cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes or until artichokes are tender.
  8. Strain cooking liquid into a pan and boil until reduced to half original quantity (about 1-1/2 cups).
  9. Keep artichokes hot in a slow oven.
  10. Mix cornflour to a paste with a little cold water and stir into simmering liquid. Stir until thickened and bubbling and leave to simmer gently.
  11. Beat eggs in a mixing bowl until light and frothy and gradually add remaining lemon juice.
  12. Gradually pour simmering stock into eggs, beating constantly.
  13. Return to pan and stir over low heat for a minute or 2 to cook the egg.
  14. Pile artichokes on a warm platter, pour sauce on top and sprinkle with chopped dill.
  15. Serve as a light meal or as a first course.

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400˚ F.

  3. In another pan, heat 4 tablespoons of the butter and saute the crumbs until crisp.

  8. Fold over 2 inches all around the pastry, then fold the long edges over to make a roll.
