I don't know how long these had been in the freezer.
I scrolled and scrolled back over shopping photos on here and didn't manage to find them before I started getting side-tracked looking at other things ... dangerous time wasting strategy!! 😄
Anyway it must have been a long time, to be honest I didn't hold out much hope for them being super tasty as I have been slowly going off most of the Aldi range of Plant Menu offerings.
So, it was time to give them a go then.
For a start each fillet was a lot bigger than I expected, and the sauce happily came in two sachets so I didn't have to eat them both at once. One fillet with it's sauce, and a portion of rice and peas made for a very satisfying meal. There's not that much flavour to the fillet, but the crispiness of it and the lovely flavourful sauce work very well together.
I am very impressed, and I will be buying these again. As long as they don't disappear the way the Plant Menu sausage rolls seem to have!!

I think it us good when double portions come with the sauce in 2 sachets. Not everyone wants to cook both at once
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, I was pleasantly surprised at this. xx
DeleteSounds like it was a good buy. Having the sauce in two separate packets is helpful for when all one wants is one of the fillets.
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice surprise, and definitely better than having to use all the sauce at once and then find something suitable from my own cupboard for the second fillet.
DeleteI always appreciate your reviews of things like this, thank you.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a pleasant change that the sauce also came in two portions.
I think this is the first time this has happened, usually I'm having the next 'whatever' with a big dollop of mayo ... it's never quite the same that way is it. :-)
DeleteGlad you enjoyed your saucy dish. Well done to Aldi for making it two completely separate portions. Catriona
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, it was a really nice touch. xx
DeleteThat looks very tasty. I must look out for them if I manage to get to Aldi, as the store is a bit out of the way for us now.

I'm finding Aldi is a bit hit and miss for the Plant Menu things just recently. I used to struggle to get the garlic Kyivs, now it's the sausage rolls that have vanished. :-(
DeleteAlways good to have found a recommended veggie option.

I do think that they are worth a try, for vegetarians or vegans. xx
