To put red wine in quorn bolognaise?

[Confusedknitter]

My DM says that there’s no point because red wine only tastes nice mixed in with beef mince bolognaise. She says it is wasted with quorn mince and better to drink it instead.
I think I can drink it AND put it in the bolognaise.
What do you think?

I add wine to Quorn Bolognese all the time - tastes great!

Are you doing it as a veggie dish? Not all red wines are suitable for vegetarians/vegans.

I think you have the right idea OP

I like to make red lentil Bolognese with red wine in it. Mmmm 🍝

It is vegetarian but we’re not strict when it comes to wine.
I’m a fledgling cook so didnmt want to ruin it, but glad that so far my instincts are being confirmed

@Cyberworrier Post the recipe. Now!!!

Have you tried Quorn before? If not, just be aware that a lot of people have a bad allergic reaction to it, including me. I would just recommend the wine by itself

Wine is great in sauces snd gravies. Yes to adding it to a quorn bolognaise.

Quorn is essentially tasteless. Put the whole bottle in!

Yanbu, I do it all the time. Gives it that lovely sour depth, regardless of the protein.

Yanbu. I always do.

I’m not the biggest fan of quorn tbh, I doubt that red wine could do anything bad to it though.
I love the sound of red wine and lentils though.

Personally I prefer getting the dried soya mince and soaking it in red wine and stock before cooking. Tastes lovely.

Quorn absorbs wine very nicely. Definitely put it in

If it's not a vegetarian wine what's the point of using quorn?
If it is,then try it!🐱

Thanks for the tip

The dish will be using far less animal produce than using beef. Every swap is good. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

I must try doing this!

I've done soya lasagne a few times - chuck all the flavours at it you can, red wine included. Shit tons of herbs, salt, pepper, stock, tomato puree...

'I think I can drink it AND put it in the bolognaise.'

Of course you can - you just need two bottles.

It enhances the sauce not the beef, go nuts!

Why does it matter if it’s not vegetarian wine? People can choose to eat Quorn even if they’re not strict vegetarians.

I personally dont like red wine in my quorn bolognaise however I do like the idea of another posters lentil bolognaise with red wine

I usually put white wine in, works fine. It adds to the flavour of the sauce and veg.

Marmite is the best thing to add.
