I bought some quorn - then didn't know what to do with it, so it's lived in the fridge for a few months.  Then, glancing at a magazine, I found this recipe.  So here goes:
Quorn Moussaka
2 aubergines (2.5lb), sliced
olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, grated
1 red pepper, sliced
1 tbsp oregano
2 tins chopped tomatoes
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp tomato puree
350g quorn (mince or pieces)
250g pouch pre-cooked puy lentils
1/4 pt stock
2 large eggs
1 tsp cornflour
500g plain yoghurt
3.5 oz cheese
  • Preheat oven to 200C.
  • Place aubergines in greased baking sheet, sprinkle oil on top. Cover with foil and bake half an hour.
  • Put oil in pan, add onions, garlic and pepper and cook until softened.
  • Add oregano, tomatoes, cinnamon, tomato puree, Quorn, lentils and stock. Season with s&p, bring to the boil and simmer 15 mins.
  • Spoon a third of the Quorn sauce over the base of a large gratin dish, place half the aubergine slices over the sauce, followed by another third of sauce, then remaining aubergine slices, followed by the rest of the sauce.
  • Lightly whisk the eggs and cornflour into the yoghurt. 
  • Spoon over the top and scatter with the cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes.

We had some tonight - and it's much nicer than it sounds, so will definitely make it again and perhaps try other Quorn recipes.
