Ingredients

  • 300g Quorn Vegetarian Chilled Pieces
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika, divided
  • 2 tsp ground cumin, divided
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 bell peppers, diced
  • 1 medium courgette, grated
  • 100g chestnut mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp onion granules
  • 500g passata
  • 500ml vegetable stock
  • 250g sweetcorn (fresh or frozen)
  • 400g (1 tin) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 250g long-grain wholegrain or white rice
  • To finish:
  • 125g mature Cheddar or mozzarella

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof frying pan or shallow casserole over a medium-high heat.
  2. Add the Quorn Pieces, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes until lightly golden, stirring occasionally so the spices coat the Quorn Pieces.
  3. Push the Quorn Pieces to one side of the pan (or remove temporarily if easier). Add the onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, peppers, grated courgette and finely chopped mushrooms and cook for a further 5-6 minutes until the vegetables have softened and any excess moisture has evaporated.
  4. Stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, oregano, ground coriander and onion granules. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the passata and vegetable stock before stirring in the sweetcorn, black beans and rice. Mix well, ensuring the rice is evenly distributed throughout the pan.
  6. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover with a lid. Cook over a low heat for 18-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  7. Remove the lid and stir through the lime juice.
  8. Scatter over the Cheddar and mozzarella before placing under a hot grill for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
  9. Finish with fresh coriander and serve with diced avocado, a dollop of Greek yoghurt, extra lime wedges and pickled jalapeños, if liked.

Chefs tip
