Whenever I think of Stroganoff my mind imagines this bowl of delicious, creamy, goodness……perfect comfort food!
This Mushroom Stroganoff is a vegetarian version of a traditional Russian dish. This recipe is far from authentic but it tastes great and works for me. Ours is a mushroom loving family so anything mushroom is always welcome!
Mushrooms, butter, parsley, regular cream and crème fraîche come together to make a delicious mushroom strognoff…..and all in just 20 minutes! Perfect week night meal!
For me mushroom stroganoff goes best with rice (regular, brown or wild) but feel free to have it with tagliatelle or any other pasta or grain that you fancy!
