Portobello Mushroom Stroganoff

Ingredients:

  • 50g of butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 400g of Portobello mushrooms, sliced
  • 400ml of vegetable broth
  • 350g of sour cream
  • 25g of All Purpose Flour
  • 15g of fresh parsley, chopped
  • 225g of dried egg noodles

Procedure:

Use a large pot and fill with slightly salted water. Bring the water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook for 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Drain the noodles and put aside.

While waiting for the water to boil, use a large and heavy skillet over medium heat to melt the butter. Cook the onion in the melted butter until soft. Increase heat to medium-high. Add the sliced mushrooms. Cook until they are browned and limp. Remove from the skillet and put in a bowl. Put aside.

Stir the vegetable broth in the same skillet, making sure to stir any of the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Boil, cooking until the mixture is 1/3 reduced. Decrease heat to low. Put the mushrooms and onion back in the skillet.

Remove the pan from heat. Stir sour cream and flour together. Blend into the mushrooms. Put the skillet back on the burner. Keep cooking over low heat until the sauce thickens. Add parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve over either steamed rice or cooked egg noodles. This recipe yields 4 servings.
