RE: burger made using Quorn crumbles

[Guest guest]

Namaskar..

 

this goes out to all, not just puterwitch. I use Quorn mince all the

time. I use it to jazz up spaghetti sauce, and make tacos.

taco " meat " is real easy..if you're making this for the whole family,

take 3 bags and if they are frozen, slam them a few times HARD on

your kitchen floor - usually does the trick for me. start by taking a

big pot and coating the bottom with a fair amount of extra virgin

olive oil - don't simply get the bottom slick, proper coat it where

there's a layer of a couple milimeters worth. to this, add one decent

sized onion of your choice of color, sliced and rough chopped. begin

by sauteeing this in the oil til partially cooked through.

 

remove the pan from the heat at this stage and add in all 3 bags of

Quorn, and then stir the onions around with it til it's pretty much

incorporated and the " meat " is coated. lower the heat to low/med and

then add in your spices - go easy on the salt, you don't need very

much because what you'll be adding to this will also have salt. I add

either garlic or onion granules in copious amounts, but you can add

it to taste. I also add both hot and mild chili powder - more of the

mild than the hot. the hot is just to jazz it a bit, the mild is for

flavor. then also add cumin powder. the chili and cumin are what give

it that taco flavor. again, use it to taste.

 

at this point, you need some moisture, so add 2 small jars of your

favorite salsa - we only have old el paso brand here, and discovery

(which is hell in a bottle, so I don't use it), and a can of corn

with peppers in if you like it. also add to this approximately 8

ounces of any kind of beer available in your house. believe me the

flavor makes it worth it. then you stir all this about, and put a lid

on and let it simmer. come and stir the pot every 5 - 10 minutes to

ensure it's not sticking, but as long as the heat is all the way down

to minimal, this shouldn't happen. then you can heat your

tortillas/chapatis (same thing) and fill them the way you usually

would!

 

Quorn also make chicken chunks too, which are in the handy freezer

bag - this makes a nice " chicken " potato curry. just partially bake

seasoned potato chunks in the oven first and later you can add the

chicken and sauce of your choice.

 

yes yes I know, this is veggie fast food, but hey, live a little and

enjoy! besides, when you get on a kick for wanting one of your old

meat filled faves, this allows you to do just that, but at the same

time, it's totally karma free Jai Sri Krsna! Bon Appetit!
