Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 cups cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegan butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Clean the mushrooms thoroughly and slice them evenly to ensure consistent cooking. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic to maximize their flavor release during cooking.
  2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Heat olive oil or vegan butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Stir occasionally as they release their moisture and begin to brown. Cook for about 7 to 10 minutes until golden and tender.
  4. Add Spices and Liquids: Sprinkle smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the mushrooms. Stir in the Dijon mustard and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce slightly to concentrate the flavors.
  5. Stir in Coconut Milk: Pour in the full-fat coconut milk and gently mix. Reduce the heat to low and let the stroganoff simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and become creamy.
  6. Finish and Garnish: Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley on top. Serve warm over pasta, rice, or your favorite grain.

Notes

  • Choose firm mushrooms to maintain texture and enhance umami flavor.
  • Don’t skip browning the mushrooms, as it adds depth and complexity.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest, richest sauce.
  • Simmer the sauce slowly to avoid separation and to maximize creaminess.
  • Adjust sauce consistency by adding broth or coconut milk to thin or simmering uncovered to thicken.
