  • Mushrooms, slice or quarter, depending on their size. Small mushrooms can be halved, larger ones can be quartered or sliced.
  • Fresh garlic
  • White wine to deglaze the pan

What kind of mushrooms are used in mushroom stroganoff?

  • Use white or brown mushrooms, or a combination of the two. For an elegant version of mushroom stroganoff substitute oyster or portabella mushrooms. If they are larger, slice them into bite sized pieces. If the mushrooms are smaller, halve or quarter them.

What can I substitute for sour cream?

  • Creme fraiche or yogurt can be used in place of the sour cream.

Can I make a vegan version of stroganoff?

  • For a vegan version of mushroom stroganoff, substitute your favorite vegan sour cream in place of regular sour cream.

How to make mushroom stroganoff

  • Heat butter and olive oil in saucepan or Dutch oven over a medium heat. Add onions and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  • Add garlic, mushrooms, paprika, fresh thyme and continue cooking until mushrooms are tender and browned.

  • Deglaze the pan with white wine, and cook a minute or two.

  • Add vegetable broth, tomato paste and worcestershire sauce, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and continue cooking until reduced 1/3.
  • Remove some of the cooking liquid and whisk into the sour cream. This prevents the sour cream from breaking once it’s added back to the stroganoff.

  • Stir to blend and check seasoning with kosher salt, black and white pepper.

  • Garnish with fresh parsley and additional sour cream if desired.
  • Serve on top of buttery egg noodles.
