Hi, I'm making stuffed peppers tonight and would normally fill them with left over chile etc but fancied [sort of] trying Quorn.

So my question is....will it go all mushy on the 'second' cooking sans pepper? I was going to make a bolognese type creation to stuff said peppers with but I always think of Quorn to have a rather soft texture.....gotta laugh as I've never had it before!
Do I literally pretend I'm just cooking with meat......mmmmmmmm meat

Treat it as meat but use chilli sauce, Quorn has no taste of it's own very bland !

No it does not go mushy and will retain its texture whatever you do with it. You can use it in any dish where you would normally use real mince. I love it but had to give it up because it contains gluten. One thing, it does not taste like meat.

i use quorn mince all the time now, never buy proper meat mince, and no-one in the family even noticed. as others have said, it behaves just like normal mince and takes on the flavour of anything you cook with it.
i've made lasagne, chillie, spag bol, cottage/shepherds pie, curry, all the usual things.
i find it particularly useful as we have a couple of vegetarians in the family and it means i can cook... and we can all eat... the same thing. it's better for you too, which is what prompted me to buy it in the first place.
