Lunch Friday 27 October - Creamed Mushrooms and Quorn


I got a big box of mushrooms for a quid, so here is what I made with them.

Creamed Mushrooms and Quorn
750g mushrooms, slliced
1 onion , chopped (about 180g)
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 pints vegetable stock
20g sauce flour
4 tablespoons (60ml) single cream
handful parsley, chopped
4 Quorn Fillets, sliced
salt & pepper to taste

Place the mushrooms, onions and garlic in a large pot and cover with the stock. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 1 hour, until everything is well cooked and stock is reduced so it just covers the mushrooms.

Mix the sauce flour with a little old water to make a smooth paste. Add to the mushrooms along with the cream and parsley. Simmer over low heat until thickened.

Add the sliced Quorn and cook for another 10 minutes or so.

I had this with some mashed potatoes, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts.

The rest would be a nice basis for a sort of pot pie dish or with pasta. Not sure yet what I will do with the other three servings.

Recipe makes 4 servings.
