Quorn Fillets in a Mushroom and White Wine Sauce
|
| What
is It ? |
Sculpted pieces of
Quorn saturated in a creamy mushroom and white wine sauce. Marinating will not occur...Quorn is impervious to all attempts to infuse flavour. |

Hang on....that
looks like raw ingredients |
|
| Where
to find it |
Quite common in the "Quorn" section of your local supermarket. Just
a quick gripe here ...why is it virtually every supermarket puts the "Quorn" section in the same row as the meat??? Most people eat Quorn as they wish not to eat meat, yet Bemuddlement shoppers are regularly forced to walk past a row of a few hundered dead chickens and animal parts before finding the items of our choice......IS IT ME?????
|
| Likelyhood
of finding |
Very good...just follow the rows of dead chickens...some have a wonderful unnatural sweetcorn colour.
|
| Complimentaries |
Baked Potatoes, Petit Pois with Carrots

Those fillets
are in there somewhere....trust us... |
|
| Wine |
Lindmans Chardonnay Wine Box....handy clear bag inside so reserves can be checked. Suggestion to Wine Box Producers....why not place a clear plastic window on the side so you can see how much wine is left...my canister of Castrol GTX has one of these (as does Bemuddlements Coffee filter).

No more
guessing on how much wine is left in the wine box with this
excellent idea from Lindmans...the clear wine bag....however the wine box had to be
dismantled to retrieve the said item.
Why not
combine the gauge on the Coffee Filter machine with the wine
box...no more reassembly blues. |

| Preparation
Notes |
Quorn takes 5 mins in the microwave. Two sessions of 2mins 30 seconds.
Petit Pois with Carrots takes 3 mins to heat on the hob ...turn to
incinerate.
Baked Potatoes would've taken 15 mins in the microwave and then finished off for 10 mins in the oven...however on close inspection our
Bemuddlement chef spotted signs of rotting on one of the potatoes (a common
occurrence in the UK as most Baked Potatoes are bought for BBQ supplimentaries.....adverse weather often means sacks of potatoes take root in the kitchen...or rot)....so
bring on plan B
Potatoes were sliced for check of health
Potatoes will be boiled this evening. |

Yes Plan
B......and yes...that is a "1998 Page and Plant Tour" mug in
the top right hand corner showing the "Zoso"
symbol......just right for that "Tea for One" hohohohoho!. Please
do reverse the image...Bemuddlement claims no responsibility for
the consequences. |

Viewing/Listening |
An excellent
dish to combine with any major astronomical event. As it was the 12th August, Bemuddlement took advantage of the fine evening
and almost Moonless skies, to view the Perseid meteor shower, forsaking U2's "Rattle and Hum" that was paused halfway through a rip roaring version of 'Helter Skelter'.

Bravo! Bon Appetite! It's off to
view the Meteor shower. |
