Mushroom Stroganoff
My wife was raised eating meat, and one of her favorite dishes was beef stroganoff. Once we were married she would talk about how good her dad’s beef stroganoff is, and how much she missed it. This recipe came from my attempts to make her a vegetarian alternative! We and our boys love this mushroom stroganoff recipe, I am sure you will too!
Mushrooms are a natural choice as a meat replacement in stroganoff. I use crimini mushrooms for my mushroom stroganoff. They are full of antioxidants, selenium, and a multitude of vitamins. They also have great texture and add a beautiful earthy flavor to this dish. The other ingredient that finally put this recipe over the top was the use of Better Than Bouillon Vegetable Base. I really enjoy this vegan bouillon and use it regularly in my dishes.
The only thing that is difficult about this recipe is being able to multitask. You will have three separate items on the stove. If you can handle that you will have no problems! Oh and you will need to know or learn to make a roux. Once you have made this dish you will find you want to do it again and again! This recipe calls for serving the stroganoff over egg noodles but it would be excellent over brown rice or quinoa as well.
How to make a roux
- Heat medium pot to medium high heat.
- Melt and brown butter in the pot.
- Add in flour and whisk till browned.
- Pour in milk and stir continuously.
- Gravy will thicken.
