Quorn Naked Cutlets
By: | Jul 26, 2007
The nightly dinner menu of my family usually has chicken, chicken, or ... chicken. With so much chicken around, I, the lone vegetarian of the family, sometimes get a craving for some poultry. For those times, dressing up tofu just doesn't cut it. Instead, I turn to Quorn Chik'n Naked Cutlets.
Quorn products are all meat and soy free. Instead they are made of mycoprotein, which is a fungus derivative. It might sound a bit unappetizing, but trust me, the resulting product is a delicious rival for the real thing in both taste and texture.. The naked cutlets are extremely versatile, meaning you can prepare it in any of the myriad ways that you would prepare real chicken breast. Once thawed, you can throw it on the grill and top with barbecue sauce; sandwich it in a bun and add your favorite fixins' for a mock grilled chicken sandwich. Quorn Naked Cutlets make it easy for a vegetarian to fit in - but it's not just for us non-meat eaters. Everyone else will enjoy this lower calorie alternative to real chicken.

Quorn nuggets are "meat-free, soy-free and a good source of protein made from natural ingredients with 33% less fat than chicken nuggets." All those descriptors are on the Quorn box, so I was very intrigued. I should point out though that Quorn Nuggets are not vegan because they contain re-hydrated egg white. The ingredients list also mentions that it contains 2% or less of wheat gluten, which may be important if you have to live gluten free.
These Quorn nuggets taste amazing! Do not think dry, weird tasting, fake meat. Instead, picture juicy, tender 'chicken' nuggets because they sure tasted like chicken. Don't bother with the microwave directions either. Pop them in a toaster oven for 15 minutes to get that warm, crispy, breaded crust. I loved it and both my cousins who I forced to try it also loved it. Then I looked at the nutrition label. 190 calories from 3-4 nuggets? What?! I had already eaten about 6 by then because they were so tasty. There is also 15% of the daily requirement of fat (10 grams) and 8% from saturated fat (1.5 grams). But they are supposed to be 1/3 less fat than chicken nuggets. Hmmm ... let me check out Mickey D's.
