Sweet Pumpkin Risotto with Breaded Fillet

Vegan food just got a whole lot better! With the growing number of veganism, there are more meat-free options available than ever before. Crispy outer crust and tender insides, this meat-free breaded fillet is the solution for vegans who want to reminisce about the real deal. Rather than using processed forms of gluten and soy to imitate the flavours and aesthetics of the real thing, Quorn breaded fillet is made with Mycoprotein, a natural type of fungus that went through fermentation. High in protein and low in saturated fat, it is a healthier alternative to meat – great for managing cholesterol levels and those watching their weight.
Pair this delicious alternative with creamy, savoury pumpkin risotto. If you are unfamiliar with basic cooking methods, fear not! For making risotto isn’t difficult at all. Rather, this modest Italian rice dish requires patience and simple techniques. Make sure you use the right rice – short, rounded, chubby grains to soak up all that sweet orangey goodness. The key is to add in hot stock slowly and constantly stir to let all that rice slowly absorb all the liquid, giving that creamy consistency and soft plump rice grains. To make this a full vegan dish, simply substitute the butter and parmesan cheese with coconut oil or vegan parmesan cheese.
Being vegan doesn’t mean having chow down greens and tofu for every meal. With this perfect quick, easy meatless meal, vegans can maintain their strict diet and meat lovers can also savour this healthy meatless alternative too!
