Advantages: Quick and easy straight from the freezer!

Disadvantages: A tad on the small side!

Yes I know another Quorn item within a few days, but it is so great that the Quorn range have decided to branch out into producing some quick ready meals, because even veggies sometimes just want to come home and grab something quick out of the freezer.

These Quorn Chicken Style Curries are really good. They come in a cardboard box that is very colourful and eyecatching, with the large Quorn logo on the front and a picture of what you are about to eat. When opened you will see a black plastic tray with 2 compartments one with the white fluffy rice and the other with the Quorn chicken chunks and a curry sauce covering them this is then covered with a clear film lid.

Now to cook this you can do it in the oven which will take you 30 minutes, pre heat your oven to 200c/400f/Gas mark 6. Pierce film lid in several places and place onto a baking tray and cook, stirring halfway through the cooking time. Well I usually do this in the microwave as this is a quick ready meal so I may as well cook it quick as well,pierce the lid the same as if you were going to cook in oven. Put onto micro- plate and cook on full power (100%) in a 850 watt oven for 3 minutes. Then peel back the film stir well and re- cover and cook for a further 3 minutes. Leave to stand for 1 minute.

When I first cooked one of these I thought it was a bit on the small side for a main meal, so now I usually serve naan bread or hot ciabatta rolls with this meal. My daughter tells me that with the bread it is plenty for one. This is a great standby if you are watching your weight as the Quorn products are very low in fat but high in protein.

This Chicken Curry and Rice weighs 300g and each pack contains;

~~~Fat 3.0g~~~
~~~Saturates 2.4g~~~
~~~Salt 1.5g~~~

This isn't the hottest curry in the world, but it does have some bite to it and smells delicious. I only discovered this Curry a few weeks ago and that was when I was shopping in Iceland. They seem to do quite a good range of Vegetarian meals and when I saw this being sold for only £1.00 I thought it would be worth grabbing a few to put into the freezer. So now these are always on my shopping list along with their Lasagne. Nowadays if you shop about between Iceland and Farmfoods you can usually pick up a few good deals as I tend to find that the top supermarkets seem to over price these items in their stores. Especially the fresh items.

So now when Hubby wants us to grab a bag of curry with all the works in Daughter can join in too!.

I will give this 4 stars as there really isn't anything I would complain about, except that maybe it could be a tad bigger ( not that I'm greedy or anything like that I'll have you know!!)

Summary: Worth keeping in the freezer for a quick snack!
