Meatballs - - - these are loads better than the ready made quorn meatballs:

Big bowl:
Grind some frozen quorn mince in a food processor
Add some wholemeal breadcrumbs
beaten egg
lemon zest, salt, pepper, chopped dill (or garlic and chilli)

Mix with hand to stick togeeather. Form into small balls and shallow fry. Have with a good quality tomato sauce and pasta. Or in pitta bread with salad.

Try it out - will be worth the time it takes to make them!

Answer 4

Spaghetti bolongaise would be the next obvious choice! Shepherd's pie? (you just need some veg (peas, carrots, sweetcorn is good) and some mashed potato. Bake it until bubbling, then grill to brown the top. How about lasagne - make it just the same but use Quorn?

Answer 5

I like to make bolognese with it. Use a carton of passata, chopped onions, mushrooms and peppers to give it some flavour and add your quorn mince, season well and also i like to add a tiny bit of beef bovril so that it tastes like beef mince then serve with some nice pasta and sprinkle cheese on top. A low fat, filling dinner!!

Answer 6

My mum and I always cook spag bol with quorn. Just fry onion, pepper I put small bits of courgette in, then add mince and sauce. yum yum. You can adapt that recipe for shepard pie etc to

Answer 7

Anything that requires mince to be used and a sauce. I don't remember quorn mince sticking together well enough for meat balls!

Answer 8

you can do any meat mince recipe, just replace the meat with the quorn, my Mum cannot eat red meat due to her cholesterol & heart condition, so I make her all sorts of things for the freezer with quorn mince, cottage pie, meat loaf, bolognase, burgers, mini steamed meat puddings. I also do up batches of quorn mince with onion & gravy so she can just pour it over mash & cabbage & its rather lovely actually, very tasty & very easy to do.

Answer 9

You can cook anything you like just as you would normal mince.
