SMOKED QUORN TACOS

Preparation time: 10-15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes

Fills 4 taco shells

Ingredients
175g Quorn mince
1 tbs olive oil
½ medium onion, very finely chopped
1 – 2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
pinch cumin
1 tsp dried thyme
200ml light stock (e.g. Marigold Bouillon, green label)
1 small red chilli, very finely chopped
2 tbs chopped fresh coriander

To serve: taco shells, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes and grated
mild cheese

Method

1. Sauté onion in a little olive oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, then add minced Quorn, smoked paprika, cumin, and thyme. Stir for 1 minute.

2. Add a little stock. Stir and cook until the liquid has been absorbed. Continue adding the stock a little at a time, each time stirring and cooking until the liquid has been absorbed. The process will take about 10 minutes.

3. Add the chilli and coriander and stir through. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more smoked paprika as desired. Go easy on it though, as the flavour can be over-dominant. The mixture should be quite dry.

4. Serve in crisp taco shells with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato and a mild grated cheese.
