This meat-free Moroccan Quorn Meatloaf with Creamy Harissa Dressing is bursting with wonderful flavours. Not too sweet and not too spicy (you can always add more harissa if you like), it is made with minced Quorn that I also use to make this Quorn chilli recipe.
Since being invited to cook in the Quorn kitchen earlier this month where I prepared this Chicken Style Pieces and Leek Pie, I have been experimenting with Quorn.
Made from mycoprotein, Quorn is high in protein, fibre while being low in fat. It is very easy to cook with and really versatile.
This meatloaf got the thumbs up from the whole family. You can eat it hot, cold or at room temperature. It makes also a great leftover for lunchboxes the next day.
