Veggie Quorn Chilli
After discovering my new found love quinoa, I wanted to try and create a few more of my favorite dishes with it. Quinoa is a great low fat rice or pasta substitute, so I thought that a quinoa, Quorn chilli would be a fantastic recipe to try. With both Quorn and quinoa being very easy to cook, this is a recipe that anyone can make.

An easy, delicious, meat free chili. High in protein and low in fat content, this is the perfect low fat chilli alternative. Kidney beans are packed with iron and anti-oxidants too, giving you not only a meal which is tasty, but also nutritious.
Have you used quinoa in a chilli before? Why don’t you try it next time for a low fat alternative!
