Finally had the Quorn Steaks!

[Starlight]

Ive only had them in the fridge for about 10 days and as they were fast approaching the sell by date I thought I better use them.

They definitely get the thumbs up! 2 good sized 'steaks' with a pepper seasoning (dont I sound like a food reviewer lol) and only 1.5 points each!!

Ive been looking at Tesco.com and they have a stack of Quorn products, I think Ill start working my way through the list

Definitely worth a try - Im now officially a Quorn convert

 

[Starlight]

Nahhh not really, they have a different texture to steaks but if you forget thats what theyre called theyre really nice lol

Im going to try the chicken dippers, chicken fillets and sausage rolls next

 

[Starlight]

Hmmm thats an idea... or maybe have 'Sponsored by Quorn' added to my signature :giggle:

 

[Starlight]

lol I was going to have Quorn bolognese for dinner but decided to have burgers, beans and chips instead.... Quorn burgers ofcourse

 

[Starlight]

They were actually very tasty and only 2.5 points each I had a wee tin of WW beans with them and some LF chips - total 7.5points for the whole meal

 

[Starlight]

The thing I really liked about the Quorn burgers tho was I did them in my George Foreman grill and not a single solitary drop of fat came off them!

Im thinking of the chicken dippers and chicken fillets next, although if you do see anything on Tesco.com youd like included in my trials do let me know lol

Hi Marie
Those tesco healthy living quarter pounders are really tasty and thick and the best part is that no fat comes out i usually have a burger with small breadcake and then a burger with a little bit of relish then salad it is really nice

Reccomend the healthy living burgers

Thanks

I've only tried the quorn tesco things was not too keen mind you it was only the sausages and OH said they tasted like rubber lol

Have still got the hot dog sausages that I brought months ago and not tried any of the other yet. The Mince quorn tesco that I have says you have to cook it in water is that right or can you just shove it straight in a chilli?????

 

[Starlight]

Noooo I draw the line at hotdog sausages... theyre revolting!!

When Im cooking bolognese I just bung the Quorn in the wok and mix it with the sauce.... and since I AM the official Quorn tester - well that must be right :giggle:

I've been veggie nearly 20 years & always find that Quorn gives me bad wind but the Linda McCartney ones don't. If you're trying stuff give the LM sausages a whirl. They're lovely!

 

[cd121272]

I wont open my hot dog sausages then lol they have been in the freezer since I brought them eeerrrrr (2 months ago) the sausages where bad enough so never dared open them and try lol

Thanks for that will try the LM ones

Hi Clair
I have hered that you soak it overnight to keep the taste in hun but when i do a chilli i usually spray the pan with frylight then when it is more or less bron i start adding the onion and peppers or what you want to put in i have never used water for my mince i dry fry it .
But if you want supose you could put it straight into chilli dont think it will matter hun
Hope this has helped

Thanks
Best wishes

I love the quorn dipper thingys, and I like the lasagne, its very tasty. I too don't like the sausages very much either! Have used quorn mince to make spag bol and chilli, and its OK, but you need to add a beef stock cube to get some full flavour. The best thing is you know you aren't going to get any bits of gristle or any little boney bits! I haven't tried the chicken style pieces yet, will report back. The chicken style burgers are very nice too, as are the ones that come with a cheesy/broccoli topping. Hope this helps!

 

[Eclipse]

Oh yeah, they also do garlic "chicken" things, they are very very nice too!

These are all the Quorn products in the orange packs/boxes, I haven't tried any of the equivalents.

 

[Starlight]

They sound great... I wish I was doing my food shop this week now!

I always use the quorn mince straight from the freezer so I chuck the bag in the microwave briefly to heat it through a bit so the ice hydrates it. Then the onions/peppers/mushrooms/herbs give it flavour. I also use the fry light spray.

The beanfeast sachets you can get are great for giving bolognese a strong flavour as it's already all seasoned.

Hi Anja

I thought i hered something about standing overnight but did not know how true it was hun. When i use quorn which is very ocasionally i use it from freezer too. Yes i always use fry light too

Thanks

I am veggie and eat a fair bit of Quorn stuff. I love the cottage pie (dead filling and quite low in points too), the chicken pieces are nice but they don't need much cooking. I did them in a slow cooker once and they went to nothing! The sausages I prefer to the Linda McCartney ones, but again don't overcook or they go very rubbery. It's pretty much all good!

And low in points, bonus!!
