Robert Poste's Child Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Is it me or are quorn chunks actually nicer than chicken? After trying them recently I've just made a sort of goulash with them too and it's better than the pork version.Feeling inspired to try more. Does anyone have any really good quorn recipes they'd like to share? Particularly anything with Thai flavours.

uncleglen Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I don't like Thai but I used the Old El Paso chili packet, onion, a carton of tomato and red pepper from sainsburys and quorn mince to do a chili- don't like kidney beans. It was lovely and quick Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/175065-any-favourite-quorn-recipes/#findComment-1198390 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rendelharris Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 They work nicely fried in a tempura batter and served with chili sauce. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/175065-any-favourite-quorn-recipes/#findComment-1198486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLeg Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I know this isn't what you asked, but it kind of links. If you like Quorn, try something called Tempeh. SMBS stock it, it's a frozen product so you need to think ahead a day or so, but it's delicious.I was introduced to it by an Australian cousin with a a medically restrictive diet (essentially vegan with a couple of oddities), who said it's widespread down under and very popular. Google it, see if SMBS still sell it, basically anything Asian you can do with meat, you can do with Tempeh. I tried it chargrilled with satay sauce, it was fantastic.

Robert Poste's Child Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Thanks for that. Had a quick google and it looks like it has some similarities to quorn in that it's made via fermentation involving mycoprotein, but with 10% fat and 20% protein it's more comparable to meat nutritionally; also in calories at about 190 per 100g. Quorn has about 90 cals / 100g, with 14.5g protein and 2g fat, so good for me at the moment as trying to lose a few pounds, but tempeh sounds like it would be great for when you're cooking for a mixed group of vegetarians and non-vegetarians.

My personal favorite is to marinate in soy sauce and use as a sort of 'meat' on bbq skewers.

Robert Poste's Child Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 First catch your tempeh, though. Looks like Planet Organic has it so Wholefoods probably does too.

dirac Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 pretty sure you can get tempeh in the chilled section (not frozen) of Organic Village Market near the East Dulwich Tavern; also holland and barrat on rye lane.

pearl1 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Sweet chilli chicken enchiladas. Copied from a pub menu in Poole. We only ever make them with quorn!

Robert Poste's Child Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Sounds nice. Yesterday I did a kind of Greek stew: loads of of onion, peppers, tomatoes and (slight anomaly) mushrooms, with quorn chunks, kalamata olives and a little of the olive vinegar, and a handful of spinach added at the end. It was delicious. Taking the leftovers to work for lunch tomorrow.

kmoon249 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I think the beauty of the Quorn mince and chicken bites is you can simply substitute the product for their meat counterparts. I've never modified a meat recipe for the quorn counterpart. Just pay attention to the proper cooking times. And if we are recommending items, their fake bacon and chicken nuggets are worth trying. I eat meat but actual prefer these quorn products.

malumbu Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 No. I don't have any favourite Quorn recipes, and I haven't eaten meat for 30 years.It was likened to mushroom when it first came out in the 80s.

Just as close to athlete's foot!I agree, it weren't so good back then, but some of their stuff now isn't at all bad - particularly the "fish" fingers, which go very well in sandwiches.

Asset Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 All I do with the quorn chicken chunks is fajitas; sliced peppers, onions, garlic, quorn chunks, fajita seasoning. Wrapped in tortillas with guac and yoghurt. Quick and easy meal.
