Advantages: cook from frozen and healthy

Disadvantages: does have a tendancy to soak up the juices!

Although I am not a vegetarian, I still frequently buy and use quorn mince. Originally I began using this as a healthy eating option, with only 94 calories per hundred grams (normal mince around 255 calories per hundred grams), but have since continued using for a variety of different reasons.

Similarly to beef mine, you wouldn't fry quorn mince to eat on its own, likewise it only takes a bit of onion and garlic to jazz up quorn. Although I do prefer to use it in recipies such as spag bol, where there is some sauce that the mince can be left to simmer in. One thing to remember is that quorn does seem to absorb more liquid than conventional mince! A good way to combat this is to use extra sauce items, for example whenever I make shepherds pie I add in an extra tin of baked beans - extra flavour and juice.

Quorn mince is also cheap, costing around £1.79 - £1.99 for 350g. Also at present, Tesco has a buy one get one free offer on. Many of the supermarkets do have offers on the quorn range. And you can often buy them for a pound a pack from Iceland.

The other factor about quorn mince is that you can cook it straight from frozen, so when you arrive home from work not having a clue what to cook the family for tea, within half an hour you can have a beautiful meal... shepherds pie... chilli... spag bol mmmmm!

Summary: once you go quorn you wont go back...
