Quorn pieces in tomato sauce
Background
For vegetarians and vegans Quorn is an important sauce. Itβs made from mycoprotein, providing nine essential amino acids. Itβs also high in fiber, vitamins and minerals, yet low in saturated fat. Quorn pieces look like diced chicken and can be used the same way - for stews, stir-fry, ragu, salad and so on. The vegetarian version contains egg-white, so if youβre vegan, make sure you buy the correct product. These Quorn pieces in tomato sauce is an easy, healthy recipe -Β you can serve it with rice, pasta, baked potatoes or on toast.
