Cooking with Quorn?

babe_ruth_3

Quorn makes me violently sick a few hours after eating it. Can anyone tell my why?

Egg allergy? Mushroom allergy?

Quorn intolerance? Whatever it is, best not to keep on experimenting

Edit: http://www.vegparadise.com/news16.html This has an ingredient list at the bottom, and also states that Quorn contains egg and sometimes dairy. A number of people have been found to have a reaction to Quorn, so you aren't alone.

In an attempt to cut cost and health reasons i'm trying to eat 3 veggie meals a week. I've bought some frozen quorn fillets (on offer atTesco) i don't mind thes but find them v bland unless in a sauce. I have some Barbecue marinade(on offer at Tesco) but the fillets say best cooked from frozen. Can I defrost them and then marinade or would they be horrible? Anybody defrosted them and then made something successfully? I can use the marinade on something else if need be but thought I'd check.

I do this all the time, and well alive to tell the tale. Go for it!

I poke holes in them with a fork to help it absorb.

I tend to stick them in the microwave to defrost for a minute or two and then marinate them and finish cooking and they taste fine to me.

Thanks for the replies - I'll give it a go today.

I had them the other night marinaded in tikka sauce, just mixed yogurt with spices and oh didnt know it wasnt chicken. Serve with rice or salad and a lime wedge.

I stick the marinade in a tub, and then let the fillets of whatever I am eating defrost in there - it absorbs the flavours a treat.

Quorn usually works well frozen or not, so don't worry!

Not had mine yet but son (4) asked for some more so success. he really likes quorn but I find it a bit on the bland side - hence the sauces.
