Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff | Mushroom Stroganoff Recipe | Kitchenstagram
This vegetarian Mushroom Stroganoff is a comforting, hearty and flavourful dish that comes together in just about 30 minutes. Inspired by the classic Russian Beef Stroganoff, this meatless version skips the beef but loses none of the richness, thanks to mushrooms- the true star of the show. With their naturally savory umami flavour and meaty texture, mushrooms make this dish feel indulgent while remaining light, healthy and budget friendly.
Cooking mushrooms properly transforms them from “slimy” to sublime. When sautéed until deeply golden in olive oil or vegan butter, their aroma alone can make your kitchen smell like a gourmet heaven. Garlic, herbs and a touch of spice elevate their earthy character, building a flavourful base for the creamy sauce. A splash of whisky, sour cream, worcestershire sauce and a bit of dijon mustard and paprika powder round out the sauce, giving it richness and depth. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just looking to eat less meat, this Mushroom Stroganoff is a warm, welcoming plate of comfort that’s sure to become a favorite in your rotation.
What is Mushroom Stroganoff?
Mushroom Stroganoff is a plant-based twist on the classic Russian dish. Stroganoff is traditionally made with beef, mushrooms in a sauce of mustard and smetana, Russian sour cream.
While this version skips the meat and instead of smetana Crème Fraîche is used. Loaded with hearty mushrooms, and a creamy, tangy sauce, it’s a satisfying and comforting meal that doesn’t compromise on richness or depth. Perfect for those craving food without animal products.
How to clean mushrooms?
To clean mushrooms, skip rinsing them under water- these fungi absorb moisture easily and can become soggy. Instead, gently brush off any visible dirt using a dry paper towel or soft-bristled brush or with wheat flour, toss the mushrooms in white flour, pick each and gently rub it to remove any kind of dirt and dust. Most mushrooms sold in stores are cultivated in controlled environments, so they’re usually quite clean and only need light surface cleaning. If you must rinse them, do so briefly and dry immediately. Avoid soaking to preserve their firm texture and enhance their flavour during cooking.
Serving suggestions:
This dish is incredibly versatile. You can toss it with pasta for a classic feel or spoon it generously over herbs or steamed rice for a cozy twist. Add vegetables if you like carrots, green beans or baby corn. It pairs beautifully with a crisp garden salad and makes a delicious satisfying brunch or weeknight dinner.
