bit like chicken breast - you can get mince, 'fillets' or pieces

[bigfoot3000]

I think I'll get the mince one of these days and give a curry a go!

[merciasounds]

my brother's wife's sister is vegetarian so far i've made her a quorn mince chilli, done stuffed peppers and tonight she'll have an authentic Birmingham Balti

[pastafreak]

Bigfoot...I use the Quorn peices for a quick curry or even better-a stirfry. It's important not to cook Quorn too long-it seems to toughen up a bit. 15 minutes simmering is plenty.

[bigfoot3000]

IS there a minimum time for cooking quorn? Any risk of odd flavour or bacteria if undercooked or can you just throw it in last minute like prawns?

[pastafreak]

It usually says on the packet to allow to simmer for 15 minutes once you have all your sauce ingredients blended. I imagine that is the optimum amount. Not sure about bacteria, tho Qourn is derived from a type of fungus. I quite like it as it is very low in fat,and quite similar to chicken.

[boxtops]

I;ve got canneloni here, yum.

[lardhelmet]

Hi boxy - I love canneloni! Please may I come around to yours tonight?

[boxtops]

[lardhelmet]
