Vegetarian Recipe.?

Question

I have a dinner party planned and one of the guests is vegetarian. I thought of making something with Quorn but am unsure what it is or what to do with it?

Answer 1

Make a big spaghetti dinner.  Just use store bought sauce like roasted garlic or herb or something and by a nice long loaf of french bread or garlic bread and serve a salad, fancy and delicious.  

If your omnivore guests really need a meat in their meal, make to sauces for the spaghetti and just put them both in serving bowls on the table, that way it's not awkward for people with different diets.

Answer 2

It would be easier to narrow this down if we knew more such as the type of party, is there a theme, a certain cuisine (French, Asian, Mexican...), do you want food everyone can eat or just the one in solitary, what are your skills, do you want ready-made, mostly ready, or to cook from scratch?

I personally don't care for soy, cilantro or mushrooms so you might find out if there's anything your particular veg-person doesn't like.

Until then, here's the information on Quorn. It's a pretty good chicken sub but while vegetarian it does contain some eggs and dairy so is not vegan and can be allergenic.

And here's a Veggie Blog Search engine where you can put in an ingredient or particular recipe you want (say "waffles") and it will show which blogs have recipes for those:

Thanks for being thoughtful. :)

Answer 3

Quorn is the brand name of a premium line of all-natural, meat-free frozen foods. The Quorn brand has been sold in the UK since 1985, and since that time has become the #1 retail brand of meat-free foods in the world! You can depend on Quorn products to always be meat-free and soy-free.

The principle ingredient in all Quorn products is mycoprotein (“myco” is Greek for “fungi”). The mycoprotein comes from Fusarium venenatum, which was originally discovered growing in a field in Buckinghamshire, England.

Finally, I'd just like to say it's really nice to see someone making an effort to make something for a vegetarian guest. Too often we're left with boiled potatoes and steamed carrots while everyone else is eating a gourmet meal. Your thoughtfulness will be greatfully appreciated!

Bon appetit!
