Shroom Storg


Basically this was an accident one day when we felt like a rich dinner but didn't want the messy meat business...
so I am still not sure what makes a stroganoff and I am sure the beef version tastes fine but here is a great vegetarian alternative that is now a favourite in our home, and so damn easy to make,

fry some
garlic (and a little ginger if you like, needs to be fresh and diced)
and
shallots (or just finely sliced onions)

add in some sliced
Portobello mushrooms ( or any mushrooms but the big flat ones are best, mushrooms hold a lot of water so dependent on how many your serving you will still need a good amount for example three mushrooms per person )

to this a decent dash of paprika and braggs (Yum I like smoked paprika )
then add about a cup of vegetable stock and leave to simmer
salt and pepper to taste
before adding the stock to lift the mushrooms and shallots from the pan you can add some wine if you have some lying around

then you need to cook some pasta or some rice to serve it on
We once made this recipe while camping and ate it with japanese soba noodles, it was delicious...
then when about to serve the magic ingredient is a big spoonful of quality sour cream mixed into the mushroom mixture, to match the creaminess you desire...
then I suppose you serve and eat, if your feeling fancy and if you have any a sprinkling of fresh diced parsley is nice...
