THE BEST MUSHROOM STROGANOFF (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Cook and drain pasta according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, sauté mushrooms and onions until mushrooms have given up their liquid and onions are translucent.
• Add garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• In a medium sauce pan, bring broth to a boil. Add salt, pepper and worcestershire sauce.
• Whisk in flour and continue cooking until sauce begins to thicken.
• Return skillet to low heat and stir thickened sauce into mushroom mixture.

ONE POT MUSHROOM STROGANOFF

Steps:

• add 1/4 cup (60 ml) of water to a large pot over medium heat. Add in the sliced onions and cook until translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. You can also sauté the onions in 1 tablespoon of oil instead of water, if you wish.
• add in the pasta, mushrooms, beef-flavored broth, nutritional yeast, and black pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.
• turn the heat off, then stir in the cashew butter and lemon juice until everything is well incorporated. Taste the pasta and add any additional salt, if necessary.
• top with freshly chopped parsley and black pepper, and serve warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

CASHEW MUSHROOM STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Place cashews in a shallow pan and warm slightly in a 250 degree oven. Keep warm until serving.
• Then, in a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat and saute garlic and onions until onions are soft but not brown.
• Add mushrooms and tamari soy sauce and cook until tender.
• Add tomato paste and mix thoroughly, cooking about 2-3 minutes.
• Slowly add sour cream, combining all ingredients well.
• Serve stroganoff over a bed of brown rice, cover with toasted cashew nuts and garnish with the parsley and paprika.

MUSHROOM STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Place a large (12-inch) skillet on medium-high heat. Add olive oil and onion, season with salt, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Add the mushrooms, thyme and garlic, and stir to combine. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, leaving it undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes at a time before stirring, to allow the mushrooms to caramelize.
• Pour in the wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom, then cook for about 1 minute. Add the vegetable stock and soy sauce, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the liquid has reduced and is slightly thickened.
• Take the pan off the heat, and stir in the mustard and crème fraîche. Taste, and season with salt and black pepper. Dust with paprika, scatter with parsley and serve with your choice of mashed potatoes, wide egg noodles or rice.

MUSHROOM STROGANOFF

Steps:

• In large nonstick frying pan, melt butter and oil. Add onions and mushrooms and cook, covered, for about 3 to 7 minutes or until mushrooms start to soften. Remember, leave the lid on to keep it from drying out. When mushrooms have softened, add lemon juice along with seasonings and sour cream. Mix well. Add cooked pasta and heat thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper, if needed, and serve.

CREAMY VEGAN MUSHROOM STROGANOFF (GF OPTIONAL)

Steps:

• Add 1/2 cup cashews (60 g // adjust amount if altering number of servings) to a bowl and cover with warm water by at least 2 inches. Set aside to soak.
• Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a clean, damp kitchen towel. Thinly slice 1 ½ cups (105 g) of the mushrooms and add the remainder to a food processor with the "S" blade. Pulse to finely chop into small pieces. If you do not have a food processor, you can finely chop with a knife. Set aside.
• NOODLES: Add 3 quarts (~3 liters) of water and 1 Tbsp salt to a large pot (adjust amounts if adjusting serving size). Bring to a boil. Once boiling, add pasta, stir, and set a timer for the lower end of your package's recommendation.
• Meanwhile, drain the cashews and add them to a small blender with 1 cup (240 ml) water (adjust amount if altering batch size). Blend until smooth to make cashew cream. Set aside.
• Test pasta for doneness. When it's ready, reserve 1/2 cup (120 ml) pasta water for thinning the sauce. Then drain the pasta and set aside.
• STROGANOFF: Melt the vegan butter in a Dutch oven or large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the onion and season with a healthy pinch of salt and pepper (optional). Cook for 3-4 minutes or until translucent. Add the sliced mushrooms ONLY (not the finely chopped) and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they have released most of their moisture and begin to brown.
• Add the remaining (finely chopped) mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and sauté until fragrant - about 1-2 minutes. Add the cornstarch (or flour), salt, pepper (optional), and mustard and stir to coat the vegetables in the cornstarch (or flour).
• Add the cashew cream and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened but still saucy, stirring frequently, over medium-low heat. If you want it saucier, you can stir in the 1/4 - 1/2 cup (120 ml) reserved pasta water. Or, if you forgot to reserve pasta water, you can also use filtered or tap water if needed. Serve over noodles or add the noodles to the sauce and stir to combine.
• Serve warm and optionally garnish with chives and vegan sour cream or yogurt. Leftovers will keep stored separately for 2-3 days. Sauce can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month. Reheat leftovers in a saucepan until warm, adding water as needed to thin.
