This vegan dinner plate is loaded with savoury rice, sautéed green beans, steamed peas, steamed broccoli and Quorn vegan nuggets.

Quorn Vegan Nuggets

Years after going vegan in 2011, I discovered this awesome brand called Quorn, who make these magic vegan ‘chicken’ style products that look like chicken, taste like chicken, but are definitely not chicken. They currently have a small selection of vegan products available in SA that are healthier, cruelty free, alternatives to chicken. If you have not tried any of them yet, you should. The Quorn vegan nuggets are amazing on their own, or added to any dish. You’ll find them in the freezer section at Pick ‘n Pay, Spar and Checkers. As a rule, remember to look out for the Vegan label on the front of their packaging, as most of the Quorn products are vegetarian.

Vegan Savoury Rice and Veg

Firstly, to create this vegan dinner plate, I made a delicious savoury rice by combining rice, vegetable stock, onion, garlic, green pepper and peas. While this was cooking, I sautéed green beans together with olive oil, vegan margarine, garlic and black pepper. Lastly, I steamed peas and broccoli and then baked some Quorn Vegan Nuggets.

A vegan basil pesto bowl with Quorn vegan schnitzels. Schnitzels cut into pieces, and mixed with steamed broccoli, peas, cauliflower, baby marrow and a homemade vegan basil pesto.

Quorn vegan schnitzel

I’m totally obsessed with Quorn’s vegan schnitzel. Of the small selection of Quorn vegan products that are available in SA, it is the one I love the most, because it goes great with everything. It really does taste like a crispy chicken schnitzel but it’s a healthier, cruelty free alternative. If you have not tried any of their vegan products yet, you have too. You can find them in the freezer section at Pick ‘n Pay, Spar and Checkers. Remember to look out for the Vegan label on the front of their packaging, as most of the Quorn products are Vegetarian.

Vegan basil pesto

Firstly, to create this vegan basil pesto veg bowl, I baked the Quorn vegan schnitzel in the oven. I steamed some broccoli, peas, cauliflower and baby marrow. Then I cut the Quorn vegan schnitzel into pieces and mixed it with the veg. Lastly, I made a homemade vegan basil pesto. I always thought that basil pesto was difficult to make, but discovered it is so easy and takes only 5 minutes. Pesto will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for a few days or freeze for up to several months.

A quick and easy vegan lunch bowl with Quorn vegan nuggets, potato wedges, and a salad with a homemade balsamic dressing.

Quorn vegan nuggets

I love Quorn’s vegan nuggets as they are basically small versions of their vegan schnitzel which I used in a recipe here. Of the small selection of Quorn vegan products that are available in SA, it is the one I think will appeal to kids the most. It really does taste like crispy chicken nuggets but is a healthier, cruelty free alternative. If you have not tried any of their vegan products yet, you have too. You can find them in the freezer section at Pick ‘n Pay, Spar and Checkers. Remember to look out for the Vegan label on the front of their packaging, as most of the Quorn products are Vegetarian.

Quick vegan lunch bowl

For this vegan lunch bowl, I baked the Quorn vegan nuggets in the oven, together with potato wedges which I drizzled with olive oil and spiced with salt, pepper and paprika. While the nuggets and wedges were in the oven I made a quick salad with tomato, cucumber, salad leaves, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds and my homemade balsamic dressing.
