Chili con Quorn.

[reddragdiva]

Quantities are approximate. Any student cook should be able to make this without doing too badly at it.

Tin of chopped tomato
Tin of chili beans
Tomato paste
Onion
Green capsicum
A whack of garlic
Assorted spices, etc. (e.g. chili, oregano, tiny bit of Vegemite/Marmite)
150g Quorn mince

Cook that lot up, stir frequently, put it over rice.
Add sour cream 'cos it's NICE.

Oh, and the obligatory pint of nice beer.

They're now making me do work at work. The bastards!

You can always cheat and use a tin of Stagg vegetable garden chilli as well.

Ughg! Stagg chill = SICK AND WRONG!

Also, say it with me, "pepper". Not this strange "capsicum" thing.

That is what yo' mean, right?

I shall speak Strine whensoever I wish.

capsicum has the advantage of being unambiguous.

[glitchdrei.livejournal.com]

maybe i will try that with minced lamb, i hate quorn ;)

Mini Quorn factoid: it has more in common with athlete's foot that it does with mushrooms.

Maxi Quorn factoid: this may be why it tastes of sawdust. ;-)

And it's not suitable for vegans, as it's grown on albumen.

Sounds a little too complicated for me. I think I'll be phoning the uber-PIZZAMAAAAAAN instead. :p

Take out the capsicum and beans and add mushrooms (and pancetta or small chunks of bacon, if a carnivore) in their place and you have a serviceable bolognaise sauce too.

Mmmmm *Dr00000lll* :-) I love Quorn sooo much. And I've thought of using, but not had the guts to use, vegemite in cooking, is it nice? And in what quantities?

*Hugs* I'll try that soon I think... :-)

[reddragdiva]

Not very much. Basically, I was using just a dab of Marmite as a vegetable stock. Works pretty well, but don't use too much 'cos it's very salty. Good s3kr1t ingredient, though.

I make it with soya mince which is vegan (I'm not though :)). One good veggie stock is Marigold, it comes in a green tub, and they also do low sodium too. It doesn't contain any crap either.

[reddragdiva]

Yeah, I usually make it with TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein, i.e. soy mince). But soy is very bad for lupus, so Liz can't have it. Hence the Quorn. Which worked really well.
