    • Deseed and finely chop the mixed chillis.

    • Meanwhile, defrost the corn in a large mixing bowl according to the time stated on the packet.
    • Combine the mayonnaise, juice of 1 lime, garlic paste, fresh coriander, the remainder of chopped chilli and 2 tbsp of olive oil to form the dressing. Season with a pinch of salt.
    • Once the corn has defrosted, use a sieve to drain the corn and mix in with the dressing.
    • After 15 minutes the quorn pieces should be cooked and you can serve up into your meal prep containers. Garnish with a bit of fresh cori.
