Ingredients

  • 300g Quorn Pieces
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  • 5 whole garlic cloves, peeled
  • ½ tsp ginger, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1½ tbsp medium curry powder
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • 1 tbsp reduced salt soy sauce
  • 200mls vegetable stock
  • 400mls coconut milk
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • ½ tsp of zest & juice of lime
  • 2 tbsp coriander, chopped

Method

  1. Heat the coconut oil in a pan, add the onion, garlic, ginger and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in the carrots and sweat slowly for 15 minutes with the lid on, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to caramelise.
  2. Stir in the curry powder and garam masala and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the soy sauce, vegetable stock, coconut milk, honey and bay leaf. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
  3. Remove the bay leaf and blend the sauce until you achieve a smooth consistency, then return to a low heat.
  4. Pre-heat 1 tbsp of oil over a medium heat and cook the Quorn Pieces for 8 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked Quorn Pieces to the sauce along with the lime zest, juice and coriander, then season to taste with salt & freshly ground black pepper. Serve with sticky Thai rice and Japanese pickles and salad.

Tip: This tasty dish is a family favourite and a great one to easily sneak the veggies in! Feel free to switch to reduced-fat coconut milk and instead of coconut oil, you could also use an alternative such as vegetable oil.
