A creamy vegan twist on the classic mushroom stroganoff. Hearty and utterly delicious.
Hearty and utterly delicious, this vegan mushroom stroganoff makes a speedy and comforting dinner. The mushrooms are smothered in a creamy homemade cashew cream that is really quick to make and requires no pre-soaking.
I like to serve this dish with rice topped with freshly chopped parsley. Delish!
How to make this vegan mushroom stroganoff
First, you will need to soak the cashews into boiling water while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
The base of this dish is an onion and garlic mixture cooked with smoked paprika and regular paprika.
The mushrooms are fried on their own in vegetable oil until they are nicely brown all over. Make sure you use a fairly large saucepan so you can cook all the mushrooms together at once.
Once the mushrooms are nicely coloured, they will need to simmer gently with the onion mixture in some vegetable stock. At this stage, I add Dijon mustard, tamari sauce and lemon zest for some extra flavour and depth. While the stroganoff is gently bubbling away, you can prepare the cashew cream.
To do this you will need to transfer the cashews and water to a blender and whizz until you have a smooth creamy liquid. It should have the consistency of single cream. The cashew cream is then added to the pan and left to simmer for another 5 mins.
I have not added a step in the method below for when to cook the rice, as this is completely dependent on the type of rice you are using and how long it takes to cook.
