veggie cooking

elliesmemory1

Im a veggie and I live alone. I would like to be able to cook and freeze some meals. has any one any ideas for any veggie meals that I can make and freeze.Im out at work quite a bit and end up eating ready meals a lot but would like to cook some things at a weekend.

I use quorn quite a bit but not sure about cooking and then freezing it?
I am poss getting a slow cooker for soups and stuff.
Any ideas please.

Cooking and freezing quorn is fine. I have made things with quorn mince like lasagne and frozen it and it turned out fine.

Hi,

Isn't quorn the equivalent of mince?

So I imagine you can make all types of meals which call for mince, put into one person portions and freeze.

Then take out the night before and pop in fridge, then cook when you get home.

Home made ready meals. :beer:

Edited to add, mushroom lasagne is a fav. here, fry mushrooms and onions and use this mix in place of mince.

It does stay solid btw.

Yep Quorn is fine to freeze. I do it all the time

You can freeze almost anything! I always batch cook cos I too have a hectic job so like having homemade ready meals in freezer.

I personally wouldn't bother with a slow cooker for soups, they take half hour in a big pan. I cook mine at same time as cooking something else, and freeze it or keep in fridge to use up in the week.

A convenient thing is to make a sauce with onions, garlic, tomatoes, quorn mince and peppers. You can aslo add other things like courgette, mushrooms and aubergines.
Anyway the point is with a basic sauce like that, you can eat it like spaghetti, or add chillies/chilli sauce and kidney beans, which can be eaten like a chilli with rice, or in wraps with cool soft cheese.

A slowcooker does have its uses though - even for those things that don't take much time/fuel cooking on a hotplate. Reason - one can go off and leave a slowcooker cooking away on its own without supervision - whereas anything in a saucepan on a hotplate has to be "supervised" to stop it burning.

Guess how many times I've ended up burning a saucepan because I got distracted?:o

Thats the thing when one has to spend a lot of time doing a job - you are then trying to multi-task in leisure time and therefore rather prone to "distraction" from cooking....:cool:
