    meat free shepherd's pie

    This meat free shepherd’s pie recipe is sponsored by Quorn. All opinions in it are my own.

    So, I was recently invited to the World’s Biggest Meat Free BBQ by Quorn in celebration of World Meat Free Week. And while I was there I got to try a whole range of Quorn products, as they are the sponsor of World Meat Free Week.

    I have to admit, here at Kidgredients we are big meat eaters, so having a meat free meal once a week is an effort! But, with Quorn and this meat free shepherd’s pie recipe, it’s much easier. If you are looking for a meat substitute, then Quorn is perfect for your family.

    But first, let’s look at some of the reasons you should have a meat free meal every week by doing this every week for a year you could:

    • add 40 hours to your life
    • save $60 on food costs (vegetarian food is cheaper)
    • spare 3 chickens
    • save the equivalent fresh water as filling up 306 baths
    • save an area of forest from being destroyed the size of 1 tennis court
    • save the equivalent greenhouse gases as driving your average SUV 300km.

    Convinced? I was too! So, I got my hands on some Quorn and got cooking. The great thing about this Quorn mince (it’s a complete protein) is that it tastes just like mince, so it’s an easy sub if you have people in your crew who are hard to convince!

    I think the hardest thing about having meat free meals is knowing what to use for protein, so using a product like Quorn takes the trickiness out of it. You can make your regular meals, but sub in Quorn. They have a large range, including mince, schnitzels, burger patties and even fajita strips.

    Veggie meals are just as easy to prep and just as yummy as their meaty counterparts. This shepherd’s pie has so many veggies in it you will feel satisfied in the knowledge that your kids are piling in the veggies.

      Where does the 20 hours come in? Is it to soak the Quorn?
