Hunters, in the traditional sense, are not the natural friends of the vegetarian cook. So this may seem an unlikely one.
Yet, myths and fables provide valued ingredients for the lovers of literature, and a woman like Zelda who appreciates stories of vampires, can find inspiration in one of the Hammer Films which she watched with her brother, another huge vampire film fan.
Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter, played by Horst Janson in the 1974 film, is called to a village to investigate a series of mysterious deaths, where the victims are drained of their youth. It's a great 'swashbuckling adventure'.
HUNTER’S QUORN
2 quorn fillets, defrosted
if frozen
4 vegetarian bacon rashers,
defrosted if frozen
6tbsp ketchup
2tbsp brown sugar
1tbsp white wine vinegar
1tbsp paprika
½ tsp garlic granules
pinch cayenne pepper
50g cheese, grated
Wrap each fillet in two
pieces of bacon. (This follows the usual recipe for Hunter’s Chicken. Don’t
expect it to look the same at this point, but it will be worth it in the end.)
Cook in the oven at Gas 7/
220°/ 425° for 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce
by mixing the ketchup, sugar, vinegar, garlic granules, paprika and cayenne
pepper in a small saucepan. Heat all gently over a low heat.
Pour the sauce over the
quorn and bacon and sprinkle the cheese over the top.
Return to the oven for a
further 10 minutes.
