Delicious Dairy Free Mushroom Stroganoff

My deliciously creamy dairy free mushroom stroganoff recipe is a super satisfying meal with brown rice. I sometimes add kale for extra calcium too. It’s also perfect with roast chicken legs or thighs if you want to pad it out and make it even more substantial. It definitely works best with chestnut mushrooms (the browner button mushrooms) but a mix would also be good. 

Mushrooms are brilliant for supporting better gut health thanks to their beta-glucans. These glucans pass undigested all the way through to our large intestine where they help support the growth of friendly bacteria in our digestive tract. 

Because beta-glucans can bind onto certain receptors on our immune cells, they can also help support immune system function and may inhibit tumour-like changes in cells thanks to their unique polysaccharide content. 

What you'll need 

• 1kg chestnut mushrooms (or a mix), roughly chopped
• 1 onion chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic chopped
• 1 can of coconut milk*
• 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
• 2 level tsp. paprika
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Handful of chopped parsley
• 3 tbsp. coconut oil
• Sea salt and pepper to taste  
• Brown rice (about 60g per person)

Directions

1. Heat a large casserole dish and add the coconut oil and mushrooms. Cook on a medium heat for 5 minutes. 
2. Add the onions and garlic and cook for another 5 minutes or so.
3. Add the coconut milk, mustard, paprika and lemon juice and stir.
4. Cook on a medium heat for 20 minutes or until the sauce thickens and reduces.
5. Turn off the heat and stir in the parsley, sea salt and pepper.
6. Serve with brown rice.

Sometimes depending on the brand of paprika I find I need to add a little extra coconut milk. Keep an extra can handy just in case you need to balance it out. 

I love to serve leftovers on sourdough toast. It makes the most perfect weekend brunch!
