Ingredients-
2 tsp. canola oil or vegetable oil
1/2 small onion, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
1 cup Quorn Grounds
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 cup broccoli florets, chopped
1 box (6 oz.) Shells & Real Aged Cheddar-style macaroni & cheese mix
12 small wafer, flat bottomed ice cream cones (1 box - 1.2 oz.)
Shredded Paremsan cheese, as needed
Directions -
1) Heat oil in medium skilled over med-high heat. Add onions; cook, while stirring 3-4 minutes or until softened. Stir in Quorn Grounds, garlic, broccoli and 1/2 cup water. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated and broccoli is just tender-crisp. Cover to keep warm; set aside.

TIPS:
* This recipe is a great way to sneak veggies into your kids! Instead of broccoli, you may substitute just about any vegetable you like...even leftover veggies. If using cooked veggies, reduce the water to 1/3 cup.
* For a kids party, set-up a "top-it-yourself" Quorn Cone Bar. Shredder carrot "confetti", chopped black olive "chocolate chips", chopped toasted nuts, etc. Let your kids' imaginations run wild!
