Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced or substitute with other mushrooms
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup portobello mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup vegetable broth low sodium preferred
  • 1 can coconut milk full-fat for creaminess
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Equipment

  • Large skillet or sauté pan
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until translucent and fragrant, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until it becomes aromatic.
  4. Add the sliced cremini, shiitake, and chopped portobello mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their juices and begin to brown.
  5. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  6. Stir in the smoked paprika, dried thyme, and coconut milk, mixing well to combine all flavors. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce thicken for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a velvety consistency.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, perhaps adding a pinch of salt or more smoked paprika for extra smoky flavor.
  9. Serve the mushroom stroganoff hot over cooked pasta, rice, or cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
  10. Enjoy the rich, earthy flavors and creamy texture of this comforting plant-based meal.

Notes

Feel free to add spinach or peas during the last few minutes of simmering for extra nutrition. For a tangy lift, squeeze a little lemon juice before serving.
