Ingredients

For Marinade:

  • 312g Quorn Vegetarian Fillets
  • 1 small bunch of coriander
  • ½ small handful of parsley
  • 1 stalks celery
  • 2 spring onions
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • ½ small onion
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 1 tsp of dried thyme
  • 1 Scotch Bonnet pepper or less if you can’t handle the heat

For curry

  • 3-4 tbsp oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño chili
  • 2 Tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala powder
  • 300ml of vegetable stock
  • 3 tbsp marinade

  3. Add in stock and cook until it begins to thicken.
  4. Add in potatoes and a little water and simmer for 10 minutes before adding salt, marinaded fillets and cook for a further 12 minutes.

Amazing I replace the jalapeño with red chilli so not to spicy but overall 5 stars

This is a firm family favourite in our house. I substitute the jalapeno pepper with green pepper so it's not too spicy for the kids and they love it.

This is a good recipe to try. There is a good blend of spices used here which work very well together. However, the *star* of the show (the fillets) left me disappointed. If you don't like the taste of Quorn fillets, this marinade won't do anything to mask or change that flavour. One good surprise from this was the rice; It tasted great with some of the marinade, so much so that I'll make it into a regular addition!
