Step-by-Step Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Stroganoff:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 16 oz (450g) mushrooms (sliced) (use cremini or button mushrooms)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1/2 cup canned coconut milk (or another dairy-free cream)
- 2 tbsp flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
- Salt to taste
For Serving:
- 4 cups cooked pasta (or rice, if preferred)
- Fresh parsley (chopped) for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mushrooms:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Cook the Mushrooms:
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown.
- Add the Spices:
- Stir in the smoked paprika, dried thyme, and black pepper. Let the spices cook for another minute to enhance their flavors.
- Make the Sauce:
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat evenly. This will help thicken the sauce.
- Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Add the soy sauce and coconut milk, continuing to stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Simmer and Season:
- Lower the heat and let the stroganoff simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
- Serve:
- Serve the mushroom stroganoff over a bed of cooked pasta or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
