Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz (450 g) mixed mushrooms (cremini, button, shiitake), sliced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup (240 ml) vegetable broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream (full fat; Greek yogurt as substitute)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 large shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crispy Shallots: Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry thinly sliced shallots in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp. Transfer to paper towels, sprinkle with salt, and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Cook chopped onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Cook the Mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until moisture evaporates and mushrooms brown, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Create the Sauce: Pour in 1 cup vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in 1 tbsp Dijon mustard and 1 tsp smoked paprika. Let reduce slightly for about 3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Finish with Sour Cream: Remove pan from heat and stir in 1 cup sour cream until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve: Spoon stroganoff over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Top with crispy shallots and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Fry shallots carefully to avoid burning; stir frequently. Add sour cream off the heat to prevent curdling. For gluten-free, serve with gluten-free pasta or mashed cauliflower. Vegan version possible by substituting butter and sour cream with plant-based alternatives. Air frying shallots is a healthier alternative.
