Mushroom Stroganoff

Mushroom Stroganoff

If you're looking for a delicious, quick and easy lunch or dinner meal, this is it!

I used a mixture of mushrooms to give the dish more flavour and dimension, adding rosemary, dried thyme, and other spices.

I also choose to deglaze the pan with cooking wine, adding truffle oil and sautéing the onions and mushrooms in peanut oil.

These kinds of choices make a huge difference when it comes to a finished product.

You won’t want to skip the step where you mix the sour cream with a bit of broth - this helps to prevent the dairy product from curdling.

Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 20 Mininactive time: 5 MinTotal time: 30 Min

Ingredients

  • 4-ounces mushrooms (mix of shitake, oyster, and cremini)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 1/3 of a poblano pepper
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon truffle oil
  • 2 tablespoons cooking wine
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary

  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon fenugreek powder
  • 1 cup beef broth (or 1 bouillon cube + 1 cup water)

Instructions

  1. Slice the onions lengthways and sauté in a pan with the mushrooms, rosemary, dried thyme, cumin, fenugreek, chili flakes, salt, pepper and the poblano pepper in peanut oil. Cook for about 10 minutes to sweat out the mushrooms and caramelize the onions.
  2. Drizzle the truffle oil then deglaze the pan with the cooking wine.
  3. Add the broth and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the broth and mix it with the sour cream. Add it back to the mushrooms and mix well.
  4. Prepare the noodles as instructed on the bag, wait to drain until you combine with the mushrooms.
  5. Mix the noodles in with the creamy mushroom mixture. Season with additional black pepper and chili flakes.
