Rich and saucy, two of our favourite character traits! For food. For dinners. This flavoursome stroganoff is deceptively quick and easy to throw together — and somehow you’ll still find yourself wondering if you’re eating a restaurant-made meal. But nope, that’s all you, Champ!
You will need
Serves 2
300g button mushrooms
50ml extra virgin olive oil
3 shallots or small onions (if small leave whole, but cut into halves or quarters if too big)
Place a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms whole and place 100ml of water in. Bring to a boil and reduce the water until they’re all nearly cooked and dry. (Cooking the mushrooms this way helps extract their best flavours without breaking them down into mush!)
Step 2
Add extra virgin olive oil, onions and salt; fry until softened and slightly golden.
Step 3
Add the garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, wine and stock and cook again until the wine is reduced by half.
Step 4
Stir through the cream and remove from heat.
Step 5
Combine the chopped parsley and lemon zest in a little bowl and sprinkle some over for garnish.
Step 6
Serve alongside your favourite style of rice or pasta! Or bread, potatoes, any carb that strikes your fancy really.
