VEGAN MUSHROOM STROGANOFF

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain well and set aside. (Toss with a little oil to prevent sticking as needed).
• Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or pan. Add the onions and sauté for 3 minutes, or until slightly browned, stirring occasionally. (*See step-by-step photos + recipe video in the blog post above!)
• Add the remaining oil along with the garlic and mushrooms, and stir to combine. Continue sautéing for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender. Then, add the white wine and stir until incorporated (optional).
• In a measuring jar, whisk together the vegetable broth, soy sauce (or tamari sauce), flour (or cornstarch) until smooth. Pour it into the pan, along with the mustard and nutritional yeast if using. Stir in the non-dairy milk until combined. Bring it to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until thickened to desired consistency. Season with paprika powder, salt and pepper to taste.
• Add in the pasta, toss well to combine and cook until heated throughout as needed.
• Garnish with vegan parmesan and fresh thyme or parsley as desired and serve immediately!

MUSHROOM STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until fragrant and the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Then add the mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and become soft, about 7 minutes.
• Stir in the vegetable broth, soy sauce or tamari and thyme, and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the liquid has reduced by a third, about 10 minutes. Mix in the Vegan Sour Cream and flour. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens, another 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Cook the pasta according to package directions, until al dente. Drain, rinse and return the noodles to the pot. Pour the mushroom sauce over the pasta and stir to coat. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Divide the pasta between 4 bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

• Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, add the shallots and fry for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for 1 minute.
• Add the mushrooms and butter and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the smoked paprika, mustard and tamari. Pour in the stock and cook for a few minutes, then turn the heat down as low as possible.
• Mix the crème fraîche with the lemon juice, then spoon into the mushroom mixture and slowly stir through (the heat should be at the absolute minimum to prevent the cream from separating). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Drain the pasta and serve in two bowls. Top with the mushroom stroganoff and garnish with thyme.

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.

SEITAN AND MUSHROOM STROGANOFF (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Gravy: Stir cornstarch and soy sauce together in a 2-quart saucepan and make a thin, smooth, paste. Whisk in the broth or water and garlic granules. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until it thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and beat in the tahini and vegan sour cream. Cover the saucepan and set aside.
• Place oil in a large skillet and heat over medium-high. When the oil is hot, sauté the onion and garlic for 10 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir the seitan strips and the reserved gravy into the onions and mushrooms. Reduce heat to low and stir often, about 5 to 10 minutes, until the seitan is heated through.
• Season the stroganoff with ground pepper. Serve at once over egg-free noodles.
