Quorn Escalopes in 4 meal variations

My weekday grub has been less inspired lately like I already mentioned the other day. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but there have just been less post-worthy dishes. I've been eating my favourite pastas and salads for the most part, but I have also occasionally had Quorn Mozzarella and Pesto Escalopes this and last month, which are a good protein addition to a meal. Here are four different variations how I have recently eaten these escalopes. I have to admit that these meals aren't that different from each other, but I noticed that I really enjoyed the escalopes together with pasta and salad.

When one component of the meal is a ready made escalope that only needs to be heated in the oven, it's easy to cook the other ingredients in the meanwhile, but still have a wholesome meal with several components in the end.

These are the additions to the quorn escalopes:
  1. Pasta, tomato sauce, arancini and rocket


  2. Chickpea and spelt fusilli with pesto and lettuce


  3. Mung bean sprout salad, ravioli and tomato, garlic and herb mix


  4. Mozzarella and tomato ravioli, pea shoots, spinach, roasted aubergine and tomato sauce


Have a good week!

Lazy Sunday lunch

I have been suffering from some winter tiredness lately. I have no strength whatsoever and that also shows in the kitchen. Last week and weekend were so hectic that I just couldn't be bothered to make a proper Sunday lunch this time. Normally that's my favourite time of the week to just dwell in the kitchen and cook for ages. Now I wanted to be quicker in order to get relaxing faster. I chose ingredients that had been lying around for a while without specific cooking plans and combined them in a lazy Sunday lunch.

 
This lunch consisted of:

Roasted sweet potato and butternut squash wedges – these were first roasted normally and then overbaked with cheese.

Broccoli and cheese Quorn escalopes – an easy ready meal, but nice to be combined with such dishes. I haven't been eating much Quorn for years, but now I have redetected it a little bit.

Mixed salad – just mixed salad leaves, pumpkin seeds and a pomegranate molasses dressing.

Fried onion rings – quickly fried shallot rings are a good addition to Schnitzel & co.

That was it. Next time I might be posting something slightly more inspirational.

Have a great week everyone!
