The lowdown

Vegemince is Linda McCartney's seasoned vegan mince made from rehydrated textured soya protein. It cooks from frozen with just a splash of water, so it's ideal for a fast spag bol, tacos or a cottage pie filling.

How to cook it

Cook from frozen in a preheated non-stick pan over a medium heat with 1 tbsp water for 3–4 minutes per 1/6 pack, stirring occasionally (brand guidance).

Always follow the instructions on your pack and make sure it's piping hot before serving.
