1/3 cup red wine

For the zucchini:

4 medium zucchinis, cut into thin ribbons

Method

Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the onion, carrot and celery. Cook over a medium heat stirring frequently for about 5 minutes until the vegetables have softened. Add the garlic and mushrooms and stir fry for 2-3 more minutes. Stir in the red wine and reduce until the liquid is halved in volume.
Add the passata, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, vegetable stock, tomato puree and oregano. Stir well. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are cooked.
Stir in the Quorn Grounds and continue to cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Stir in the basil and season to taste.
For the zucchini, preheat the oil in a large pan. Add the zucchini and fry for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan sieving any juices out. Stir in the cheese and season to taste.

Did you know? We call zucchini a vegetable but they are technically a fruit because they contain seeds! Zucchinis are a source of potassium which helps keep our muscles working properly.
