This recipe is so quick it’s almost stressful. But then you have awesome tasty food, so that makes up for it. My first attempt at a mushroom stroganoff. I have yet to be able to spell the word ‘stroganoff’ correctly on first type. Autocorrect 1, Hannah 0. Anyway, I don’t know about meaty stroganoff, never had any when I was a meat eater (what did I do with those 25 years, huh?), so I don’t know how this rivals for people who like that dish, but as a primae-strongonoffer, I can confidently say it was WELL tasty. And quick. Which I already said. Simple, and makes a brill dinner with rice and french beans. I like the mustardy taste, and might even add a little more next time. Using the stock I made the other day, by the way. Used that twice and both times lovely results. Check it out.
I haven’t tried this recipe with soya cream instead of creme fraiche, but I might try that tomorrow to see if it’s easily veganised. Will edit if I remember.

Ingredients!
HOW TO MAKE:
If serving with rice and beans, set off the rice now, and put the bean water on to heat up.
Cook the onion in a covered pan with 3 tbsp of the stock for 4 mins until softened.
Stir in the mushrooms, garlic and seasoning, then add the remaining stock, mustard and tomato puree.
Cook for 2 mins covered, then uncover and reduce for 2 mins more. Chuck the beans in to your boiling water. Stir in the creme fraiche and parsley and serve as soon as possible on a bed of rice with those green beans.
mmmm. hipster vision.
Tried this last week. Didn’t get it quite right. I’m a big fan of mushrooms, but Alex isn’t, so I was stupidly excited about this, but the age of the mushrooms (and the wholegrain mustard) made it all a bit brown, and feckin up halving the quantities didn’t help either. Also used portobello mushrooms and I think next time I’d stick to common or garden button ones. Will try again – did I say I bloody love mushrooms?
Hey Hilary! I used chestnut mushrooms and found it fine, I use the homemade stock mix these days (http://omnomnom.hannahnicklin.com/2012/04/15/homemade-stock-mix-bouillon/), which might take away from brownness a bit? Whiolegrain mustard makes all the difference for me in terms of texture and interestingness. Maybe make sure you’re not using super reduced fat creme fraiche, too? Also, get the paprika recipe app, it’s ace, can grab any online recipe details and save locally, and has an auto-scaling function which auto-divides everything or multiplies as you wish. :)
I think it was the age of said mushies & mustard that was Thr main problem, I’m a big fan of whole grain mustard (which reminds me, must blog v good pie soon) and we use liquid stock which isn’t usually too brown (would love to make my own but…). Will try fresh chestnut mushies next time – my mush of choice usually, the portobello’s just happened to be on special. And I feel I should point out that I *can* divide things by 2, I just wasn’t concentrating and forgot to. But app sounds ace, will look it up.
