Ingredients

  • 500 g quorn meat free pieces (frozen)
  • 1 small bunch asparagus (100 grams)
  • ½ cup halved plum tomatoes
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 tablespoon pesto
  • 1 orange bell pepper
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup vegetable stock cube
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 green onion
  • ¼ cup water
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • In a large pan, add the frozen quorn, water and vegetable stock cube and cook on a low to medium heat for about 15 minutes or until the stock has been absorbed and the pieces have turned slightly brown.
  • Remove the pieces from the pan and set aside.
  • Cut the onion and peppers in strips, add the oil to the pan and cook the asparagus, peppers and onion for 5 minutes until slightly tender.
  • Add the quorn pieces back to the pan together with the halved tomatoes, pesto and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Give a good stir and turn off the heat.
  • Garnish with chopped green onion.

Notes

  • If you'd like to see the ingredients listed in cups and ounces, please check the US Customary Link.
  • Also, the amount of ingredients changes depending on the servings, so click on the number listed to change it to the number you prefer.
  • Make sure not to use too much oil though when cooking the vegetables, the pesto has a good amount of olive oil in it anyway. 
  • If you don't have asparagus, you can replace it with broccoli spears or just normal broccoli florets. The dish is ready in no more than 30 minutes, so no hassle whatsoever.
  • If you wonder how to cook the quorn chicken pieces without a sauce, I would say having a non-stick pan is essential. It helps not having to worry about scrubbing the pan after.
