BYPASS OR BUY - Quorn Roasted Sliced Fillets

Quorn is one of the largest vegan / vegetarian product brands her in the U.K. and Ireland and certainly one of the most recognizable. Every time I've gone shopping, I've only been able to spot the frozen varieties of their products but I recently visited one of the larger markets here and found a slew of their other products including these roasted filets. Made to look and mimic grilled chicken, I was looking forward to trying these as a protein packed topper for a fresh and delicious salad.

The package suggests you can eat them straight out of the pack but also gave instructions for warming them up in a pan which I wanted to do. I tried one right out of the package and was pleasantly surprised. The texture was pretty wonderful, it had the right consistency and wasn't chewy whatsoever which I often find vegan meats run the risk of being. Anyhow, I warmed them up in a skillet with a little oil until they were lightly browned on both sides and dressed my salad with them. It was one of the most satisfying salads I'd had in some time. 

They were the perfect addition to an otherwise light and refreshing salad. They provided a nice warm component, had a really enjoyable flavour and texture, and as I mentioned, added some much needed protein. I found myself looking forward to every bite of salad with a filet on it and the amount of fillets in the package was perfect for a meal sized salad or you could split it into two side salads as well. 

BYPASS or BUY? BUY!! I strongly suggest you guys try these. As I said, they're the perfect protein packed addition to an otherwise light salad. They have a great flavour and texture and are super easy to whip up in a flash.

I visited the QUORN website and I must admit, they have quite an extensive line of meat substitutes that I'm looking forward to trying. Expect to see many more reviews of their products in the future. Check out their website for yourselves to see what a wonderful range of products they have!

HAPPY VEG
