Quorn and sweet potato fry
Background
You can make this Quorn and sweet potato fry in the oven or on the hob – the baked version is a bit healthier. If you want the dish to be vegan, make sure the Quorn has no egg-white in it. Serve it with a salad and perhaps rice, or in tortilla/taco wraps.
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 300g Quorn pieces
- 1 Tbsp tomato purée
- 1 tsp garlic paste or 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried marjoram
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
- Water
- 1 lime, juiced
- 75g baby spinach
- Salt & pepper
- Chopped Coriander leaves to serve
Instructions
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small cubes – similar size to the Quorn pieces.
- Heat half of the oil in frying pan and fry them until golden brown, then set aside. Alternatively scatter them in a roasting dish, season with salt and pepper, scatter some chilli flakes on top and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden, turning them regularly.
- Meanwhile, heat the reaming oil in a frying pan and add the Quorn pieces. Fry them for about 10 minutes, or until golden, then add the spices, tomato purée, salt & pepper and cook for a couple of minutes. Add water if it’s getting too sticky - it shouldn’t be too dry either.
- Add half the lime juice then the spinach. Put a lid on and sauté for 3-5 minutes or until the spinach has wilted.
- Gently mix the sweet potatoes together with the Quorn, then add the coriander leaves and serve.
