I found the basic recipe for this in the The Quorn Kitchen Cookbook but it was made in a microwave and I could never really get it to work properly so I wanted to see if I could adapt it for the slow cooker.

Ingredients

1 pack fresh quorn chicken style pieces
1 small red onion (chopped)
250g easy cook basmati rice
200g frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, sweet corn, pepper etc)
Chopped dried apricots (a couple of handfuls)
Flaked almonds (a good handful)
Jar of tikka masala paste
1 vegetable stock cube
650ml boiling water

1. Mix the chicken style pieces with two tablespoons of tikka masala paste and a bit of water and leave to marinade whilst you prepare the rest of the dish

2. In a little oil, gently fry the red onion until it softens slightly

3. Add the rest of the ingredients and three tablespoons of the tikka masala paste to the pan and bring to the boil

4. Add in the chicken style pieces and then transfer everything to the slow cooker

5. Cook on high for 1.5-2 hours, stirring after an hour. If it looks like the mixture needs a bit more liquid towards the end of cooking just add in a dash of boiling water. The meal is ready when the rice is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

6. Serve with naan bread and enjoy :)
