‘Winter is a season of recovery and preparation’.
Stroganoff is an old classic Russian recipe from the 18th century, that has become popular around the world. You can imagine people eating this dish on a cold snowy day, which is why it has become so popular as a warming winter dish in other places and the USA is no exception.
I took this particular recipe from Healthy Living James as featured in Vegan Food and Living. It is rich from the coconut milk, substituting for the cream and has deep flavors from the smoked paprika, dijon mustard and garlic. You can use it for canapés, eat it on toast for breakfast or with rice for dinner and it only takes 30 minutes to make.
Ingredients
- 1kg mushrooms, sliced
- 2 red onions, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tins of unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tsp. smoked paprika

- Large handful of parsley

Method

- Once the mushrooms are soft, add the coconut milk, paprika, mustard and lemon juice and stir well
- Cook on a high heat to allow the sauce to thicken, cook for 20-25 minutes of until thick and reduced, keeping stirring to make sure it doesn’t stick
