Hi all/ Comments on Quorn Roast

[Guest guest]

Hi all, haven't posted in a while, but I have stopped by in " lurk "

mode just to look for new recipes. Hey, that one for stuffed

mushrooms looks good mmmmmmmm...

 

Has anyone else tried the Quorn Turkey-Style Roast? It was on sale

at our Natural foods store, and I was looking for something different

for a holiday dinner, so we tried it. It was somewhat dry, but then

turkey breast was always somewhat dry. Also the plastic-type thing

that it is wrapped in (you are supposed to cook it with it on) was

rather gross. On the positive side, it did brown up rather nicely.

It did slice rather nicely, and the leftovers made good un-turkey

sandwiches, and also a really good creamed un-turkey & vegetables on

biscuits!

 

Hope you are all enjoying your holidays.

Hi Cheryll. Yes, I bought one and fixed it for my xmas dinner as

well. I wrote

my review of it over at my other veggie group. Sounds like we both

had pretty

much the same opinion of it. I did give it two thumbs up and would

fix it

again. I think it was a tad dry, but with a nice mushroom gravy it

was lovely.

Anyway, here is my review cut and pasted:

 

Quorn roast review

 

For Christmas dinner this year I tried one of the Quorn brand

meat-free roast

(turkey-style 16 oz.; serves 5). I don't know if I really remember

what real

turkey tastes like, and truthfully I think I'd rather I had

forgotten, but this was

delicious. My son and daughter tried a bit of it and even they

thought it was

good, though they still ate the turkey breast my husband cooked for

them.

 

Anyway, I would certainly recommend it as a meat-free alternative. It

lacked

a bit in the asthetics department. It came in a tube shaped plastic

baking

wrapper. One is to puncture the wrapper and bake it while still

encased, so

the outside gets golden brown. I was skeptical that this would work,

but it did

rather well. After baking, one is to remove it from the oven and let

it sit for 10

minutes before removing the wrapper and slicing. I wasn't really too

impressed with how it looked; a brown sausage shaped tube of mystery

food. *lol* However, I do think one could jazz it up by pre-slicing

it before

bringing it to the table and then displaying it with a garnish of

parsely sprigs

and cranberry sauce. Since it was just for myself, I didn't bother

with that,

and as I said it did taste good.

 

I give it two thumbs up and would buy it again.
