Quorn Burger - Homemade

To make 4 Burgers

1 can Red kidney beans ( or any bean of your choice)
approx 1/2 pack quorn mince - defrosted
1 egg
chilli powder - to your taste


Blitz in a food processor the beans and add the quorn and egg and chilli powder and blitz again. mix well and shape into 4 burgers and place on a baking tray ( they are quite wet at this stage so its more a case of 4 dollops on a tray and patted into rounds) then put in fridge for 1 hour to firm up a bit. spray with fry light and bake in oven at 200c for 15 or so mins until browned.
I added my HEA of cheese over 2 burgers and allowed to melt for the last min of cooking.

I then made a mayo and mustard sauce and added iceburg and tomato and gherkin to mine ( MaccyDs Big Mac style)

Vanilla and lemon sponge

I adapted the chocolate log recipe from the Xmas SW book.
to serve 4 at 3 syns each i used

2 eggs
28g SR flour
28g sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence or extract

1 recipe of Syn free lemon curd

beat the eggs with the sugar until doubled in volume.
fold in the flour and vanilla
on a lined baking tray pour the mixture on and bake for 10 mins at 200c

remove and cool on wire rack
when cool spread with the lemon curd and roll up.

next time i would mix my lemon curd with Quark and LF fromage frais and add some fruit into it, blueberries maybe.

but as an experiment it was good.

Mmmm I am in awe of all of these fab ideas.. Like the onion bahji ones as usually just use chickpeas,but will try potatoes with them now. Lemon curd as well, that will be nice on top of sw rice pudding too. Great ideas honey x
