Wow, 3 broken ribs is pretty serious!  I hope you mend quickly.

Just waiting for Dave Drum to drop back in with a "Boogalooga!"
and "Get a load of this medical story..."

  This stuffed roasted vegan joint makes a showstopping Christmas main
  with a firm, sliceable texture from vital wheat gluten and a festive
  sweet potato and chestnut filling. Perfect for serving with all the
  classic trimmings.
  
  For the sweet potato and chestnut stuffing:
  
  First, preheat the oven to 180?C (350?F) and then line a
  medium-sized baking dish with greaseproof paper.
  
  Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add
  the leek, garlic, herbs, cinnamon and cooked sweet potato and saute
  until the leek has softened and the potato has browned. Add all the
  remaining ingredients and toss until well combined. Turn the heat
  
  off and, using an old-fashioned potato masher, lightly mash the mix.
  Break down any large chunks of sweet potato and the chickpeas or
  butter beans.
  
  Spoon the mixture into the lined baking dish and press it in to
  compact the mixture.
