Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff – One Pot

Lovers of creamy mushroom sauces, you gotta try this vegan mushroom stroganoff recipe – it is so good. It has all that lovely earthy mushroom flavor you can dream of and is finished off with that signature Stroganoff tang from some homemade vegan cashew sour cream and a touch of white wine.

The smell of brown mushrooms cooking with garlic and fresh herbs, is one of my favorite scents ever! Plus, this recipe is EASY! The most difficult part of the recipe is slicing mushrooms and chopping some garlic and onions. If you wanted to make this even easier you can purchase pre-sliced mushrooms .

Ingredients for Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff:

• chopped onion and garlic – a must for all mushrooms sauces. If you don’t like garlic, skip it or use 1 -2 tsp of garlic powder instead of fresh
• mushrooms – I find Cremini mushrooms are great for this recipe – they are sometimes sold as baby bella or, portobellini mushrooms or simply brown button mushrooms. White button mushrooms would also work fine for this
• to up the umami, we add some soy sauce, vegan Worcestershire sauce and dijon mustard
• dried thyme is a great herbs to add to creamy mushroom dishes
• to get the signature tang of stroganoff, we add some white wine but you can also use vegetable broth and add in some lemon juice
• to intensify this sauce, I like adding mushroom stock, but you can also use  vegetable broth.
• use Farfalle or fusilli or other pasta
• Cashews make this sauce creamy and should be soaked for at least an hour. Alternatively, do a quick soak by boiling them in hot water for 5 minutes
• lemon juice brightens up the flavor of the creamy sauce and makes it feel light

Tips:

• If you don’t want to use cashew cream, you can use cashew butter, or vegan sour cream, or blended up silken tofu. Or, if you want to use a store-bought vegan sour cream then you can.
• Prepare the vegan cashew sour cream before you start with the recipe so that you have that all ready to go. If your blender is not exactly high-speed you may also need to soak your cashews beforehand, so just bear that in mind.
• I really recommend you use mushroom stock for this recipe. You can buy it, or make your own.
• If you want, you can also add in some leeks.
• For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free pasta.

How to make Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff

Heat a skillet over medium heat, add oil, and add in the onion, garlic, and mushrooms, and half of the salt and mix in.

Cook until the mushrooms are golden brown on most of the edges, about 9-12 minutes. Stir occasionally in between
Once the mushrooms are golden brown, remove half of the mushrooms to use as a garnish later.

Add in the sauces, herbs, stock, and mix in, and add in the rest of the salt, pasta, and mix in. If the stock doesn’t cover the pasta, add in 1/4 cup more stock.

Cover and cook for 19-21 minutes, or until the stock is absorbed by the pasta, and the pasta is well cooked. Stir the pasta once in between, so that any of the pasta that is on the top also gets cooked evenly.

Add in the cashew cream, and mix in. Cook for a minute or two to thicken, taste and adjust salt and flavor.

Then serve the pasta in bowls, topped with the reserved mushrooms, top with pepper flakes, vegan parm, and dill or parsley, and serve. The pasta will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
