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...
