Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff

Spread for me ๐Ÿ˜‹

Stroganoff may very well be the most underrated comfort food. I grew up eating it, but was surprised to find that many friends did not share the same experience as me. I was also surprised to find that no other ‘popular’ Stroganoff recipe included tomato sauce as my family’s did. Things were very touch-and-go at first, as Molly and I set out to make our own version.

Ultimately, it was the use of tomato in my family’s recipe (makes sense: Great-Grandma from Slovakia, her mother was Italian, Italians love tomatoes) that actually made the dish. We wanted to impart as much tomato punch as possible without taking over the dish. Enter: tomato paste. What it created was this amazingly layered sauce with an earthiness that complimented the mushrooms so very well; an extremely developed Stroganoff that didn’t take all day. You will want to make love to this dish, probably.

Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 yellow onion, medium, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound button mushrooms, cleaned & sliced
  • ยฝ cup white wine, dry — I'm a Pinot Grigio girl, myself
  • 1ยฝ cups chicken stock (or veg or shroom)
  • 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
  • 3ยฝ Tbsp flour
  • 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp tomato paste
  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 1 Tbsp chive, fresh, chopped
  • ยฝ Tbsp thyme, fresh, chopped
  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • Prepare egg noodles according to package. Once that's started, begin cooking your sauce.
  • Heat a large pan over medium heat. Each of the following steps will happen in this same pan. YAY!
  • Toss in 2 tablespoons of butter and melt completely. Add onion to melted butter along with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook until translucent, a few minutes. Throw in the garlic and cook until fragrant, another minute.
  • To the onion/garlic mixture, add the other 2 tablespoons of butter and the mushrooms. Hit that shit with another pinch of salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Pour in white wine and turn up the heat. Bring to a boil and cook wine all the way the fuck out, completely evaporated, until mushrooms and onion start to brown. MMMMM, WE'RE BUILDING FLAVOR HERE, PEOPLE!!!
  • While wine is boiling out, whisk together chicken stock, worcestershire, and flour in a separate bowl.
  • Deglaze the pan with this chicken stock mixture and turn down the heat to where it previously was. Scrape any brown bits from bottom of the pan.
  • Add in tomato paste. Mix then cook for 5 minutes, stirring often until sauce starts to thicken.
  • Lastly, stir in sour cream and herbs and cook until heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If sauce becomes too tight, you can loosen it up by adding a little stock at a time until desired consistency is achieve; taste again for seasoning if you do this!

SERVING!

  • You can pour sauce over noodles and stir until heated through on stove (you will most likely have to add more stock here as noods will absorb the sauce, but that's up to you, BB!)
  • You can serve family-style and place a bowl of the noods and a bowl of the sauce with serving utensils on the table, and let people help themselves.
  • Enjoy with some crunchy AF bread and some greens, I guess, if you "care" "about" "your" "health" *rolls eyes*.

WINE PAIRING!

  • A beautiful Beaujolais goes awesomely with this. The floral notes compliment the earthiness of the sauce, and the sauce isn't as heavy as one might think; the sour cream and fresh herbs really lighten things up! Hooray for Beaujolais!

Notes

JUST THE TIPS!
1.) Set up your ‘mise en place.’ This means do what the recipe tells you to do to the individual ingredients, measure them out, and then place them in separate little bowls/dishes/what-have-you. When it’s time to build the recipe, you have everything measured and ready to go. It makes the entire process so much easier and more enjoyable!ย
