EASY CHEDDAR WALNUT BREAD
From The Irish Pub cookbook, this delicious variation on traditional brown soda bread is from Durty Nelly's pub-restaurant in the village of Bunratty, County Clare. It's easy to make and slices nicely, but note it's not like American bread you're used to but an Irish style bread with a slight "bitter" taste.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Lightly butter a 9" x 5" x 3" pan.
- In a food processor, combine the flours, mustard, salt, baking powder, baking soda and sugar; pulse 2-3 times to blend. Add the butter and process for 10-15 seconds, or until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside one tablespoon of the cheese and one tablespoon of the walnuts for the topping and add the rest to the food processor, pulsing 8-10 times to blend.
- Add the eggs and buttermilk and process for 10-20 seconds, or until a soft dough forms. Spoon into the prepared pan, smooth the top with a rubber spatula that has been dipped in buttermilk, and sprinkle the remaining cheese and walnuts over the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.

WALNUT CHEDDAR LOAF
This is an old standby vegetarian recipe from the 70s. It is from "Diet For A Small Planet" by Frances Moore Lappe. It's a nice alternative if you want a meat-free entree, or you can use it as a side dish as well. Very good on a cold fall evening. I use my cuisinart to grind the walnuts.

Steps:
- Toast the bread slices either in the toaster or on a baking sheet placed under the broiler. Let cool.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Generously butter a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan, then line the bottom with waxed paper and butter the paper.
- Tear up the toasted bread slices and make crumbs out of them in a food processor. Place in a large bowl.
- Process the walnuts until finely ground and mix into the bread crumbs. Combine the eggs and onions in the processor and process until fine but not liquefied. Stir into the bread crumbs. Place the green pepper, celery, parsley, tomatoes, and oil in the processor and grind until fine but still with some texture. Stir into the loaf mixture along with the poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix this all very well until evenly moistened. (The mixture may be prepared to this point and refrigerated up to 8 hours in advance.) Scrape it into the prepared loaf pan and smooth over the top. Cover the loaf with foil.
- Bake 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out dry. Let sit 5 minutes, then run a knife all along the sides of the loaf to help loosen it. Unmold the loaf onto a platter and remove the waxed paper. Let the loaf cool 20 minutes or so before slicing it. It's best to serve the loaf warm and the gravy hot.
- Melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and saute until brown, about 7 minutes. Stir in the flour; it will become very pasty. Cook this roux for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. It will stick to the bottom of the pan a little bit; that's okay.
- Stir in the stock, wine, soy sauce, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce at a lively simmer for 5 minutes, stirring almost constantly and scraping any crusty bits that adhere to the bottom of the pan. Serve in a sauceboat.
MUSHROOM-WALNUT LOAF (GARDEN LOAF)
I cook the brown rice with a little toasted sesame oil to give it a nutty flavor. I love this recipe. It freezes well and easily reheats. Sometimes I add cooked sausage to the recipe, if I feel like having some meat that week. Otherwise, it's a hearty, satisfying recipe. Serve with mushroom-walnut gravy or my favorite savory sauce.

Tips:
- Using cold butter helps create a flaky crust on the loaf.
- To easily incorporate the butter, use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut it into the flour mixture.
- Grate the cheddar cheese finely for a more even distribution throughout the loaf.
- Chopped walnuts should be added to the dough just before baking to prevent them from becoming too oily.
- If the dough is too wet, add more flour as needed. If it's too dry, add a little bit of water.
- Bake the loaf until it's golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
