A frozen food product which includes a raw protein portion, a raw or an only
partially
cooked or blanched vegetable portion and a sauce, contained in a sealed cooking
pouch made primarily of paper and a susceptor layer, preferably aluminum, which
may be placed in an oven or microwave oven so as to cook the contents of the cooking
pouch. The raw protein product is preferably one of fish, beef, poultry, pork or
veal. The vegetables are raw or blanched vegetables such as julienne peppers, celery,
carrots, onions, zucchini or broccoli. The blanched vegetables are only partially
cooked so that the time remaining to complete cooking of the vegetables is approximately
the same as the time required to cook the raw protein portion.
