VEGAN FAST FOOD DUPES! A Complete Nandos Meal Suitable for Vegans + Gluten Free!

A bonus post today as I'm on  roll with my Vegan Fast Food Dupes! The concept behind this series on my blog is that just because you're vegan, gluten free, coeliac, lactose intolerant or whatever the case may be doesn't mean you have to settle for boring and bland food. This being said, I will take a fast food meal and rather than scrap it from my diet, I just adapt it to be vegan and gluten free! I hope you enjoy, and even if you are a meat eater this could be a healthier option you may want to recreate at home! 

On Today's Menu - CHEEKY VEGAN NANDOS! 

• Grilled Chicken and Salad Pitta
• Peri Peri Chips
• Spicy Rice - SEE MY RICE RECIPE HERE 
• Hummus

Who doesn't love a cheeky Nandos? Vegans. Although there are veggie options, they leave a lot to be desired. I wanted to recreate the options on the menu I would eat if I was a meat eater! So here they are and I hope you cheekily enjoy!

You will need:

• Maris Piper Potatoes 
• Nandos Peri Peri Salt 
• Spicy Rice (You can make your own or see my recipe here!)
• Hummus (My all time fave is this one. If you want to go full Nandos try this Peri Peri Hummus!) 
• 1 BFree Gluten Free Pitta Bread
• 2 Quorn Fillet 
• 3tbsp of Nandos Rub (choose which ever heat rating you like)
• Salad (I like to add lettuce, spinach, tomato and cucumber) 
• Nandos Sauce (to season) 

Method 

1. Slice the potatoes into chip size slices. Sprinkle with the Peri Peri Salt and bake n the oven until they are crisp but fluffy inside.

2. Make my spicy rice following this recipe, or prepare any rice you prefer. 

3. Take the Quorn Fillet and marinate in the Nandos Rub. If you can leave for a few hours or ideally overnight in a sandwich bag to infuse with the flavour. Grill in the over following the package instructions.

4. Toast your pitta bread, and spread with a generous layer of a Nandos Sauce of your choice. Add in the salad and Quorn Fillet and top with more sauce if desired!

5. Plate the pitta with the chips, rice and hummus! Time to tuck in!

I hope you enjoyed my vegan and gluten free version of the well loved classics at Nandos.  Even if you are not vegan, you can follow this recipe to create a healthier and cheaper meal at home! To see my other Fast Food Dupes click here for KFC Toasted Twister and here for Happy Meals!
