Green beans & mushrooms in tomato sauce with quorn & potatoes

The other day I bought the wrong tetrapack of tomato pieces. I usually buy them plain, but they also have them with onion & basil, and one of the latter slipped into the former’s shelf and subsequently in the cart. And then I saw a Belgian cook making something similar to this and thought it’d be tasty. So I put this together for dinner.
