You also don't cook it in the same way - it goes tough if you try that
I fry it quickly in olive oil with garlic/onions etc
Then remove form the pan and in that pan I make the sauce mix.
Of course, if you are using a jar of sauce you'll be ok doing it all at once.
Try adding extra tomatoes and onions
It's tasty enough but I'm not sure I could live on it =)

I started using it about two years ago and now never buy proper mince. It doesn't taste of anything, it takes on the flavour of anything you add to it. It's a finer texture than meat mince and I've never know it go rubbery. Some people think its awful, and some people, like me, think its fine and can't notice the difference. It's worth trying if only for the health benefit.
BIG SECRET GIVEAWAY !!!!!
I use it, or the cheaper TVP (texturised vegetable protein) to replace rusk in homemade sausages. It retains moisture and fat, and gives a good texture to the finished banger. They don't shrink or burst as much, either.
Quorn isn't bad in chili or spag sauce, as you're adding strong flavours, although if I know it's been used, I don't enjoy it.
