Mushroom Stroganoff is the veggie take on classic Russian dish and it’s really simple to make. Smoked paprika gives a wonderful flavour to the creamy mushrooms. Use any mushrooms you like, or mix and match. It’s great on rice, ribbons of pasta or even over a baked potato. Cooks in just 20 minutes. Vegan or vegetarian.
Chop the mushrooms into slices and quarters - I like to have a variety of shapes so the stroganoff gets a nice texture. Set aside.
Heat the butter and oil in a large sautee pan over a medium heat and add the onion. Cook for 5 minutes until soft and translucent, stirring often. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
Add the mushrooms, paprika and thyme and stir to coat, then cook for 4 minutes uncovered, stirring regularly.
Stir in the stock and cook for 5 minutes until it begins to thicken. Take the pan from the heat and stir in the cream, then season with salt and pepper.
Serve with rice or pasta, topped with chopped parsley.

Notes
Nutritional information given just for the mushroom stroganoff and not any accompanying rice or pasta.
Use your favorite mushrooms - button and cremini are great.
I like to chop my mushrooms roughly and all in different shapes (sliced, quartered, chopped) so there's loads of texture in the final vegetarian or vegan mushroom stroganoff.
Leave your mushrooms in the windowsill for half an hour before you prep them and the sunlight will naturally increase their vitamin D!
Rice or pasta noodles are the usual way to serve stroganoff.
I love a bit of green veg at every meal, so we often have it with my quick and easy Green Beans Almondine.
This vegan stroganoff will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Then just cook the pasta or rice, heat the stroganoff through and serve.
Since this is a creamy dish, it's not the best for freezing, I'm afraid. However, you can freeze it if you make it up to just before adding the cream (but don't add it). Then let it cool, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost your mushroom stroganoff, then heat and add the cream.
