We normally use Quorn chunks, mince or strips as a substitute for meat, in higly flavoured meals such as chilli or curry. Last night, I had some leftover chicken soup stock and decided to try frying it to see if it fried okay, which it did. The manufacturers recommend just adding it to the meal towards the end:
Courgette and tomatoes were added along with the stock, black pepper and dried thyme:
In this dish, frying it didn't seem to add any extra flavour. We had the above with lovely mashed potatoes:
I tried Quorn pieces once but I found the texture a little strange. It's not something I would have on a regular basis I think.
ReplyDeleteIt is an odd texture but having watched how they ‘grow’ it in a factory, we are converted to how much better it is than rearing animals and all that ensues. We are not vegetarian or vegan before anyone wonders.
DeleteQuorn is OK, more texture than taste, I think, but quite filling.

I agree but it does take on strong tastes, especially if frozen and thawed before eating, such as curries.
DeleteUnfortunately I am allergic to Quorn - it makes me very ill.
ReplyDeleteOh dear. Are you allergic to mushrooms as I believe Quorn is a similar thing.
