Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz fresh mixed mushrooms (cremini and button), sliced
- 1 cup canned chestnuts, chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Add diced onions and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until browned and tender (about 8 minutes). Ensure they release their moisture for maximum flavor.
- Add Chestnuts: Fold in the chopped chestnuts and let them cook for another 3 minutes to absorb the flavors from the pan.
- Create the Sauce: Pour in vegetable broth, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard. Stir well and let simmer on low heat until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
- Season to Perfection: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Optionally, sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley for added freshness.
- Serve It Up: Transfer your stroganoff onto plates or bowls over cooked pasta or rice. For an extra touch, drizzle with additional cream.
