Jambalaya For Protein & Bone Building

The Quorn pieces bump up the protein in this veg-heavy dish. For speed, you could use ready-cooked rice from a pouch and lower the stock to 100ml. If you fancy having the leftovers the following day (just as tasty!), be sure to leave it cool and then refrigerate quickly and reheat until piping hot.
