Method

Spicy Potato Salad Method

Boil the potatoes in a large saucepan filled with salted, boiling water. Cook until just tender. Drain the potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Set aside to cool. Cut into wedges.
Heat the olive oil in a small sauce pan over medium heat and add the cumin, ginger, salt, black pepper, coriander, cayenne pepper, allspice and cloves and cook for 1 minute. Pour this infused olive oil over the potatoes, and mix to combine.
Add the yogurt, vinegar, mint, parsley, lemon zest, orange zest and black olives and gently combine. Adjust the seasoning if necessary and refrigerate until cool.

Moroccan Quorn Vegan Nuggets Method

Place the garlic, ginger, cayenne pepper, coriander, parsley, smoked paprika, cumin, salt and pepper into the bowl of a food processor and whizz for 2 minutes.
Add the olive oil, lemon zest and juice and whizz for 30 seconds. Pour the marinade over the Quorn Vegan Nuggets and toss well.
Leave to marinate for 30 minutes minimum and then drain the excess marinade.
Heat the olive oil and fry the Quorn Vegan Nuggets until golden brown.

Lemon and Mint Vinaigrette Method

Add the lemon zest and juice to a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer until the zest absorbs the juice.
Spoon the zest into a small bowl and add the olive oil, parsley, mint, salt, pepper, honey and lime juice. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
Serve the Moroccan Quorn Vegan Nuggets with the lemon and mint vinaigrette and the spicy potato salad.
