Quorn - SW

[LakeFlyPie]

Am following Slimming World plan and can't get on with Quorn 'mince' in any guise, even though it takes on the flavour of sauces it's cooked in I don't like the texture.

I wondered about trying the sausages, have had a vile mouthful of the frankfurter style ones, don't like real ones so no surprise that I didn't like them but the 'surprisingly succulent' and cheesy herby ones look like they might be worth a try.

Should I bother and if so are they all free food or do they have 'syns' ?

TIA

I don't like quorn mince but quorn sausages are fine. In fact positively nice IMO.

I can also recommend frozen soya from Tesco. Much nicer than quorn mince. Even my meat obsessed DH says he like it when it's cooked up in a bolognese sauce.

I don't know anything about SW unfortunately.

Have you tried the quorn fillets. I love tghen baked or bbq wiht red pesto!

I know I answered a question you didn't ask!!

Thanks for replies, haven't tried any other Quorn products after the mince and frankfurter experiences but if it means I can mix up my red / green days a bit will make family meals a bit easier.

Sainsbury have Quorny offers on ATM, so might give some new stuff a try.

Quorn mince is best if fried first - honest

Apparently Quorn sausages now have a sin value. I never liked them, tasted a bit like stuffing to me and agree with you the texture of Quorn is a bit

I always fry my mince in Fry Light, if put straight into liquid it goes a bit "bloated" for want of a better word!

Quorn chicken style pieces are lovely in a Thai Green Curry or Vegetable Fajitas.

In answer to my own question the Quorn sausages are pretty revolting.
Had the 'now even tastier' Red Leicester and Onion ones (I think they were called) and dread to think what they were like before they became even tastier, not a hint of flavour and texture of baked cardboard.

Will definitely stick to our local butchers syn free meat ones in future.

May give the frying in Fry Shite before cooking and the pieces in a curry a chance before I write Quorn off completely, thanks for the tips

Thanks octopus they sound delicious, will give them a try

May I link them to the SW recipe thread?

Thanks Octopus.
Here's link to thread, it's still in it's relative infancy, but slowly growing.

The SW thread which spawned it is here
