Quorn mince

skintmummy

I bought this a while back but not really sure what to use it for, any ideas welcome.

Hi skintmum,

You can use it any place you would use ordinary mince, you use it in exactly the same way and it is very similar. It has no taste of its own so tastes of whatever you cook with it ie chilli, tomatoes, musrooms or garlic. It is good value because it does not shrink so you end up with the same amount you started with.

Good luck.

I do everything I make with normal mince with Quorn (when it's on special of course) bolognese, with ravy, chilli/mexican etc

Thanks I may try spag bol with it then, using tinned tom's and some garlic.

Hi

I make shepherds pie with Quorn mince. I just cook it in a little water with pepper and a few herbs and then add veggie gravy mix to thicken it and then top it with mashed potato and pop under the grill. Yum:j

I also make chilli with it

my DD will not eat beef mince so I always use Quorn mince but Im getting a bit bored with spag bol, chilli con carni, mince 'n' mash. I was wondering if anybody out there has any nice recipies using Quorn mince ? she also doesnt like peppers or mushrooms but will eat just about anything else. I did check the mega indexed thread first but couldnt see a thread for Quorn.
Thanks

Pink.

Sorry the only recipe tips I can think of for quorn are:
1 Open the packet and empty contents into the bin
2 Visit your local shop and buy some real food.

Just use it in anything you'd put dead cow mince in

My OH does rather nice burritos with mince and fajita seasoning, cheese, lettuce, sour cream and/or salsa.

Shepherd's pie?

Lasagne?

fajitas, my son loves them. also the quorn pieces are good used this way chopped up, fry a little in olive oil add the fajita seasoning, actually the whole family will eat this.
