Make It Ahead – Stress-Free Christmas Cooking
Christmas Day is magical — but let’s be honest, it can also be hectic. Between roasting potatoes, basting veggies, and keeping the prosecco chilled, the last thing you want to worry about is timing your main course perfectly. That’s why this Festive Nut Roast with Cranberries & Chestnuts is a dream come true for busy cooks — it’s make-ahead friendly, freezer-safe, and easy to reheat without losing flavour or texture
Make the Mixture in Advance
If you want to save time on the big day, you can prepare the nut roast mixture up to 24 hours ahead. Here’s how:
Follow the recipe up to the point of baking.
Pack the uncooked mixture into your lined loaf tin.
Cover tightly with cling film or foil and store it in the fridge overnight.
When you’re ready to cook, simply remove it from the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes, then bake as normal. This method not only saves time but also allows the flavours to develop and deepen overnight, making the roast even tastier.
How to Freeze Your Nut Roast
This recipe freezes beautifully, so you can make it weeks in advance and still enjoy that just-baked freshness. To freeze before baking:
Assemble the loaf, wrap it tightly in cling film and foil, and freeze for up to 2 months.
Defrost completely in the fridge overnight before baking.
To freeze after baking:
Allow the loaf to cool completely.
Wrap well in foil or place in an airtight container.
Label with the date and freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat, defrost overnight in the fridge, then cover loosely with foil and bake at 170°C (fan 150°C) for about 20–25 minutes, until piping hot in the centre.
Reheating and Refreshing the Glaze
To restore that gorgeous glossy top, brush the nut roast with fresh cranberry sauce or a drizzle of maple syrup just before reheating. This not only refreshes the appearance but also locks in moisture and gives it that irresistible festive shine. If you’re reheating individual slices, a few minutes in the oven or a quick pan-sear in olive oil works wonders — it gives a lightly crisped edge while keeping the middle soft and juicy.
Serving on the Day
Once reheated, plate it up on a warm serving dish and garnish with:
Fresh rosemary sprigs
Whole cranberries
A scattering of toasted nuts or pomegranate seeds for sparkle
No one will ever guess it was made ahead — it looks and tastes like it just came out of the oven.
Why This Recipe Is Perfect for Planning Ahead
One of the joys of this make-ahead vegan nut roast is its flexibility:
Holds its shape perfectly even after freezing or reheating
Tastes even better the next day, as the flavours have time to mingle

Preheat oven to 160 °C (fan) / 180 °C (conventional)
Rub a gratin dish with the cut garlic, then discard garlic.
Thinly slice the potatoes (≈ 3 mm).
In a saucepan, combine milk + cream + bay + pinch of nutmeg, bring just to a simmer.
Layer potatoes in the dish, seasoning each layer with salt & pepper.
Pour over the hot cream mixture so it just covers the potatoes.
Sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
Bake for about 1¼ to 1½ hours or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden.
Cook the venison steaks
Take steaks out of fridge ~20 minutes before cooking, pat dry, season both sides with salt & pepper.
Heat a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat; add olive oil.
When oil is hot (shimmering), add the steaks. Sear for ~2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare (depending on thickness).
In the last minute, add butter & fresh thyme/rosemary to the pan; baste steaks with the melted butter.
Remove steaks to a resting plate, loosely cover with foil.
Make the blackberry & red wine sauce
In the same pan used for the steaks (with those flavourful browned bits), lower heat a little. Add shallot & garlic, sauté until softened.
Deglaze with red wine, scraping the fond from the pan. Let wine reduce ~5 minutes.
Add stock, blackberries, redcurrant jelly (if using), and balsamic. Simmer until the sauce reduces and thickens—blackberries will burst.
Strain if you prefer a smooth sauce (pressing the berries), or leave it slightly chunky.
Swirl in cold butter at the end (off the heat) for sheen and richness.
Taste & adjust salt, pepper & acidity.
Cook the greens
Blanche the greens (beans or broccoli) in salted boiling water ~2–3 minutes until just tender.
Drain and toss with butter, salt & pepper.
Plate & serve
Slice the venison steaks (if desired) and arrange on warm plates.
Spoon the blackberry & red wine sauce over the steaks (or serve on the side).
Add a portion of dauphinoise potatoes and the buttered greens.
Optionally garnish with fresh thyme sprigs or extra blackberries.

Deglaze with red wine, scraping up the fond (brown bits) from the base. Let wine reduce a bit (5–8 minutes).
Add beef stock, bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, orange zest, and sugar/honey (if using). Stir to combine.
Braise low & slow
Return beef cheeks into the liquid (they should be mostly submerged; top off with extra stock or water if needed)
Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover, reduce heat to very low (or transfer to oven at ~150 °C / 300–325 °F).
Braise for 4 hours (or longer), turning once or twice, until the cheeks are falling-apart tender
Finish sauce
Carefully remove the beef cheeks, set aside and keep warm
Strain the braising liquid (optional) back into the pot, discard herbs & vegetables (or blitz & re-strain for a smoother sauce).
Reduce over medium heat to thicken to a nice sauce/glaze consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, maybe a splash of balsamic or red wine vinegar for brightness.
Return cheeks to the sauce to coat and warm through.
Make the polenta
While the sauce is reducing, bring the water (or water + milk) to a simmer in a saucepan.
Gradually whisk in polenta, reduce heat and cook, stirring frequently, for ~20–25 minutes until thick and creamy.
Stir in butter, Parmesan, season to taste
Crisp the sage & plate
In a small frying pan, heat a little olive oil until shimmering, then fry sage leaves until crisp (a few seconds each side). Drain on paper towels, sprinkle salt.
Plate: spoon a bed of creamy polenta, lay a beef cheek (or pieces) on top, drizzle with sauce, garnish with crispy sage (and parsley or pancetta bits).
Notes
Make Ahead: Beef cheeks taste even better the next day as the flavours deepen. Cool, refrigerate overnight, then gently reheat in the sauce.Freezer Friendly: Once cooled, store beef cheeks with sauce in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat slowly.Flour Swap: To keep the recipe gluten-free, dust beef cheeks with cornflour or rice flour instead of wheat flour.Polenta Texture: For creamier polenta, replace half the water with milk or cream. For a dairy-free option, use olive oil instead of butter and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.Wine Choice: A bold, full-bodied red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz) works best. Avoid light wines, as they won’t stand up to the richness of the beef.Serving Ideas: Instead of polenta, try mashed potato, celeriac mash, or buttered pappardelle pasta.Add a Twist: A stick of cinnamon, star anise, or dried chilli in the braising liquid gives the dish a unique depth.
This recipe isn’t just about cooking beef – it’s about transforming a humble, underrated cut into something extraordinary. Here’s why it works so well:
Beef Cheeks at Their Best
Beef cheeks are naturally full of connective tissue and collagen. While that makes them tough if cooked quickly, it’s exactly what makes them perfect for slow braising. Over hours of gentle heat, the collagen melts away, creating meat that’s fork-tender and luxuriously soft – almost like butter. Using Alec Jarrett British Red Tractor Beef Cheeks ensures the quality of the meat matches the technique, giving you consistently delicious results.
Deep, Layered Flavour
Every element in this recipe builds flavour:
Searing the beef cheeks locks in rich, meaty notes.
The red wine and beef stock form a bold base, reduced slowly until concentrated.
Fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary infuse the braise with fragrance.
Orange zest adds a subtle lift, balancing the richness with a hint of brightness. The result? A sauce that’s glossy, intense, and restaurant-worthy.
The Perfect Partner: Creamy Polenta
Instead of classic mashed potato, this recipe uses Parmesan polenta – smooth, creamy, and comforting with a subtle nutty flavour. It soaks up the sauce beautifully without overpowering the beef, creating a balanced dish where every mouthful is pure comfort.
A Textural Finish
The garnish of crispy sage leaves isn’t just for looks. Their crunch provides contrast to the tender beef and silky polenta, while their earthy aroma ties the whole dish together. It’s the kind of thoughtful touch that elevates a slow-cooked meal from rustic to refined.
Designed for Success at Home
While this dish looks and tastes like something you’d order at a fine dining restaurant, it’s actually very achievable at home. Once the beef cheeks are in the oven, the recipe is largely hands-off – making it ideal for dinner parties or family gatherings. The large 2 kg pack from Nicol Retailer is perfect for feeding a crowd or batch-cooking for the freezer.

Side Dish Ideas – Colour, Balance & Comfort
While creamy Parmesan polenta makes the perfect base, don’t stop there. Build a plate that’s as beautiful as it is delicious:
Roasted root vegetables – caramelised carrots, parsnips, and beetroot bring a natural sweetness that complements the richness of the beef.
Steamed seasonal greens – a bright, vibrant counterpoint that refreshes the palate after each decadent bite.
Crisp winter salad – bitter leaves, crunchy walnuts, and a citrus dressing add a refreshing zing, lightening the dish while adding a gourmet twist.
