Quorn pieces in tomato sauce

For vegetarians and vegans Quorn is an important sauce. It’s made from mycoprotein, providing nine essential amino acids. It’s 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 you’re vegan, make sure you buy the correct product. These Quorn pieces in tomato sauce is an easy, healthy recipe -  you can serve it with rice, pasta, baked potatoes or on toast.
