This flexible nut loaf recipe makes a great centrepiece for the festive season and it's the perfect size for a small gathering or to serve to a few vegetarians as part of a wider group. Feel free to swap the chickpeas for beans: black beans, borlotti or cannellini will all work.
For this recipe you will need a small (1lb) loaf tin and a food processor.
