Ingredients

  • 4 Quorn Fillets, frozen
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ small red onion, finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp Ras El Hanout
  • 100 ml vegetable stock
  • 120g couscous
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 100g cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 10g parsley, chopped as finely as possible
  • 10g coriander, chopped as finely as possible
  • 3 tbsp mango chutney
  • 4 tbsp pomegranate seeds
  • natural yoghurt, to serve

Method

  1. Put a medium saucepan that has a lid over a medium heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and fry the onion for 7 minutes, until softened. Add the Ras El Hanout to the saucepan and cook for 1 minute until fragrant then add the Quorn Fillets. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until starting to lightly colour, then add the stock and combine. Cook, covered, for 10-12 minutes, turning the Quorn Fillets every now and then so they are coated in the sauce.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the couscous according to pack instructions. Add the cucumber, tomatoes, herbs and remaining 1/2 tbsp oil, then mix to combine.
  3. When the Quorn Fillets are cooked, slice, then stir the mango chutney through the sauce. Serve on a bed of couscous, sprinkled with pomegranate seeds and a bowl of yoghurt on the side.
