i totally disagree Quorn is totally unnessary, as the beans and the cheese offer protein you need. Quorn is no subsitute and being a veggie that can't eat Quorn i'm happy to find recipies that are Quorn free!!!

I'm surprised the receipe doesn't mention quorn mince. This is a fab substitute for the real thing and I use it in all my cooking, even though my husband likes his bacon for breakfast. I would urge anyone thinking of changing to try quorn in receips like this one. happy veggies
