Mushroom Stroganoff Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 500g (about 1 lb) mushrooms, sliced (use a mix of cremini, button, and portobello for variety)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk or cashew cream (for a vegan version)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional, for added umami flavor)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Sauté the Onions and Garlic:
    • In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
    • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Cook the Mushrooms:
    • Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 10-15 minutes.
    • Stir in the soy sauce, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  3. Create the Sauce:
    • Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine. This will help to thicken the sauce.
    • Gradually add the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
    • Once the broth is well incorporated and the mixture starts to thicken, add the coconut milk or cashew cream, Dijon mustard, and nutritional yeast (if using).
    • Stir well and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens and the flavors meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Serve and Garnish:
    • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Tonight: Serve over pasta (like fettuccine or pappardelle).
  • Tomorrow night: Serve over rice.
