Recipe: Mushroom Stroganoff {A Vegetarian Take On A Classic!}

Summary: Mushrooms have been a thing around here lately. Mr Ask has decided he’s really into mushrooms, which is cool because mushrooms are a vego staple. When I think mushrooms I think of think of this unctuous sour cream stroganoff on egg noodles. But you might prefer rice or go out on limb and spoon it over a baked potato, it’s up to you. You could also veganize it but using a vegan butter and vegan sour cream and vegan noodles. Whenever I am planning out meals, Mr Ask hounds me for this – it’s one of his most favourite meals. Don’t be fooled by the long ingredient list! This is a really quick, weekday wonder. There is only an onion and the mushrooms to chop (and you can cut that in halfby using pre sliced mushrooms) and the rest happens super quick. I got this on the table in around 30 mins!

1 tblsp olive oil
400g sliced mushrooms
1 small red onion, finely diced
