Mushroom Stroganoff

Great when you feel that you have over indulged in meat, but need a tasty comforting meal, which isn’t too heavy.  Serve with green petit pois and creamy mash, the ultimate comfort food after a walk on the cliffs.  Quick to prepare, a good way to use up a mushroom situation (which is why I have recorded it!).

Olive oil, a glug

Onions, chopped, half small one per person

Fry the onions until softened, about 5 mins.  Add:

Mushrooms, handful per person, I use chestnut, sliced

Garlic, half a clove per person

Stock cube, chicken (or veggie), in turkey stock (or water)

White wine, a glug (or flat rose cava)

Tomato Puree, half a tablespoon per person

Lemon, small squeeze of the end

Boil for about 5 minutes, add:

Salt and pepper

Paprika, preferably smoked, a sprinkle to taste, approx. half tsp

Worcester Sauce, slosh, but not if doing veggie

Cornflour, 1 tsp, mixed into some cold water, stir in to thicken

Boil for a minute or so, and take off the heat.  Stir in:

Crème Fraiche, half table spoon per person

Sprinkle with:

Parsley, fresh and chopped
