Vegetarian Philly steak bake

Hi all
here's a recipe made tonight it's a vegetarian philly steak bake..this recipe uses quorn steak style pieces

Let's go then
you will need for the cheese sauce
25g butter
25g flour
aprox 600ml milk
grated vegetarian cheese of your choice
extra cheese to put on top
salt and pepper

For the filling
enough pasta for four people
300g packet of frozen quorn style steak pieces
1 medium red capsicum (pepper) diced
1 medium red onion sliced
2 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper

First put your pasta water on to boil and get your pasta cooking

Second make the sauce up whilst the pasta is cooking
in a saucepan add your butter and flour and cook out for good 2 minutes

add your milk a little at a time to make sure no lumps form stirring all the time the first couple of times you add the milk should form a ball like lump this is normal just keep adding milk a little at time so that no lumps form and the sauce will stay at quite a thin consistancy until you add the cheese..

once you've added all your milk cook for about 3-5 minutes this will thicken sauce only slightly take off the heat and add your cheese as much as you like until you have a cheese sauce your happy with mixing all the time.. I used two to three good handful of pre-grated cheese..
put to one side

add some salt and pepper as needed

thirdly in a frying pan add your oil and heat up
once hot add your onion and pepper fry off for little while about 5-8 minutes until onions and peppers are soft

add some salt and pepper not much there is some in your sauce

add your quorn style steak and cook for couple of minutes

At this time the quorn is not cooked it will cook in oven

put to one side until pasta and sauce are ready

Once your pasta is cooked mix with your quorn, onion and pepper mix and then stir in your sauce
make sure everything is coated and evenly spread through
put into an oven proof dish and add some more cheese on top
put into your oven and cook for about 25-30 minutes at about 180degree until golden and bubbly

serve immediately

well hope you enjoy this recipe we certainly did

Red Pesto Quorn with Wedges and Iceberg Salad

Hi all

Here's a nice simple recipe to try... I got the idea from http://sortedfood.com/ when they did their Italian Chicken burger
here's my take and it's suitable for Vegetarian...

Quorn fillets fresh or frozen
Jar of red Pesto
Bread for breadcrumbs
Garlic and italian herb blend
Iceberg Lettuce
Ranch dressing
Blue cheese (suitable for vegetarian)If want to keep it vegetarian
Tomato
Fried onion pieces(optional)
on large baking Potato
olive oil

I used frozen quorn so took four and marinated them overnight in the fridge with about 3 -4 Tbsp of red pesto

After Marinating overnight
I blitzed some 4 slices bread in a blender with some garlic and italian herb blend at least 2Tbsp of herbs
What you don't use of the breadcrumbs freeze and use another time...
I then coated the marinated quorn with the breadcrumbs and allowed to rest in fridge until ready to cook

to make the blue cheese dressing
add about 1/2 cup of ranch dressing
and as much of the blue cheese as you like to flavour it and then put aside until ready to assemble salad
cut up your tomato removing the inside seeds and just keep the flesh in a small dice put aside

cut potato in wedges and coat with olive oil and as much of the garlic and herb blend as you making sure they are all coated with it on both sides

Now it's simple put your wedges on first they need up to 40 minutes to cook properly turning at least once keep an eye on them

about 15 minutes before the wedges are finished start cooking your quorn in some oil in frying pan until golden brown on both sides I cooked mine for about 4 minutes on one side turned them and then 2 minutes on the other side before putting them in the oven for 4 -5 minutes to make sure heated through well..

while they finish cooking put your salad together cut a nice wedge out of your iceberg put over some of the dressing trying to make sure it gets between the leaves of the iceberg and then put over your tomato and your onion pieces

once everything is cooked serve up
this will serve two nicely...

This is so easy and so tasty you really didn't need a recipe but give it a try anyway... you will enjoy...
