Cooking with Quorn {Giveaway}

As mostly vegetarians, we like to enjoy fake "meat" from time to time, like veggie burgers and veggie hot dogs. Frankly (get the pun?), I've been getting a bit tired of the usual brands, so I jumped at the opportunity to try some products by Quorn.

I've seen their frozen foods in the health food section of the grocery store and was intrigued by them. Their products look a lot like chicken, both in color and texture, so I was pleased that the company was happy to send some samples for us to try out.

First up: The Naked Chik'n Cutlet.
I was really impressed with these, both in the texture and taste. They are soy-free and only 80 calories per cutlet and they have a taste much like chicken and not at all like the soy meat substitutes we've had in the past. They were delicious pan fried in a spritz of olive oil, and also baked in the oven.
I cut up the baked ones and added them to a lentil and bean stew.
The Chik'n pieces were really good in the stew, and the texture held up well. I hesitated just throwing the uncooked Chik'n into the crock pot, since I wasn't sure if they'd get mushy, which is why I baked them first.
As you can see, the Chick'n pieces held up well (that's a chunk in the bottom of the photo).
I like how versatile the Chik'n cutlets are--they can be baked, pan fried, even grilled.

Their other products are sooo good too, like the Chikn' nuggets (of course my toddler loved those),
the meatless, soy-free Grounds (as in ground "beef"), which are great in tacos and nachos
and the Gruyere Chik'n Cutlets, which added a nice flavor to the plain Chik'n.
They even make a Turkey Roast, for going meatless at Thanksgiving (or other meals). I will definitely be buying more Quorn products in the near future. They're such a welcome change from the usual meatless foods we eat. And they'll be great on the grill in the summer.

We love the Chik'n patties. I've never seen the Gruyere Chik'n Cutlet in our stores so we'd love to try those!

Amy W said...

On a completely different subject - I see you have some very nice brown rice underneath. I ate some brown rice that looked similar to yours this week and it was so yummy! Might I ask what brand it is and where I can get some?

I would love to try the NEW! Southwestern Chik'n Wing because we have been trying to go meatless since the first of the year. Our daughter inspired us.

We love the plain cutlets, but the Cranberry & Goat Cheese Chik'n Cutlet looks INCREDIBLE! I love the taste and texture of all of their products, however. Thank you so much!

I'd like to try Quorn's Soy-free "Grounds" added to macaroni and Hemprella Cheese. That and a cold bottle of beer.

I'm making the transition to a vegan diet, hence would like to win.

The meatless Meatballs would be the first one I'd try: My hubby loves meatball subs ( the carnivore version) so this would be the big "taste-Test"

I would love to try their Chik'n Tenders. I've been wanting to really cut back on meats, but it's hard to find things my family will go for. This looks like it would be a great alternative.

Joanne Kennedy said...

Well I feel like I'm already a winner by reading your post. I've been a vegetarian for about 3 1/2 years now and I've never seen these products. I'm always looking for new ways to get protein in my diet so I'm going to search for these.

I would love to try all of them but that goat cheese and cranberry chicken one sounds wonderful. I would also love to make tacos with the one like hamburger.

You have no idea how much I would love to win this giveaway!

Thanks for offering it.

Hugs,
Joanne

Oh wow. I LOVE Quorn- it is definitely my favorite "fake meat" brand. The Cranberry & Goat Cheese Chik'n Cutlet is my favorite so I would like to try the Gruyere Chik'n Cutlet which seems similar.. haven't seen that one in stores.

Naomi said...

I love the cutlets, especially the Cranberry/Goat Cheese but we still haven't tried the Grounds yet. I'd like to try those next!

I'd like to try the Chickn Nuggets.

They're high in protein, low in fat.

I'd like to try the Garlic & Herb Chik'n Cutlet. It's hard to make last minute stuff that isn't just peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that is still meatless, so this would be great for those times when I have to throw something together.

We do not buy a lot of 'fake' meat products, because they are expensive. This would seriously help with our food budget, and add some tasty treats to the menu! Thanks for the chance to win!!!!

My daughter recently decided to become a vegetarian... which means I pretty much also did! LOL - It really wasn't much of a change for me, more for her. Now, I'm working on finding out more about a balanced diet for her with the new lifestyle. These products look like they would really help (and taste good). I saw the Southwestern Chik'n Wing and started drooling! I love spicy and love chipotle!

MMMM awesome. I would like to try their Gruyere Chik'n Cutlet - on a sandwich.
I've loved their chicken nuggets and patties for years, but have been so scared to feed my new meat loving husband soy products that the last box I had got freezer burned by the time he agreed to try them.
Now that I know he is willing I would so much love to win, they have a lot of products I haven't tried yet!
