      Chef’s tip 

      If you have not used Quorn before it is a versatile protein source with a mild flavour. Quorn is available as sausages, escallops, burgers, and mince. Not all Quorn products are vegan, so always check the packaging before you buy. If Quorn is not your thing add chickpeas, cannellini or butter beans – all of which are good sources of protein.
