Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff
One of the key ingredients in this vegan mushroom stroganoff dish is, of course, mushrooms. But not all mushrooms are created equal when it comes to making stroganoff. For this recipe, I recommend using a combination of cremini and shiitake mushrooms. Cremini mushrooms have a meaty texture and a slightly nutty flavor that pairs well with the creamy sauce in the stroganoff. Meanwhile, shiitake mushrooms add a rich, earthy flavor to the dish. Together, they create a delicious and satisfying meal that will have you coming back for seconds.
When it comes to serving this vegan mushroom stroganoff, there are plenty of options. Of course, you can always serve it with traditional pasta like vegan noodles, but you can also switch things up a bit. For a healthier option, try serving the stroganoff with zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash. If you’re looking for a heartier meal, try serving it with mashed potatoes or even over a bed of rice.
As with any recipe, the key to making a great vegan mushroom stroganoff is to use fresh ingredients and take your time. Sautéing the onions and mushrooms slowly will allow them to develop their flavors fully, resulting in a rich and satisfying dish. And don’t be afraid to adjust the seasoning to your liking – stroganoff is a versatile dish that can be tailored to your personal taste preferences.

How to Make Mushroom Stroganoff
In a medium skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add in the onions and cook, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes.
Then, add in the cremini and oyster mushrooms. Bring the heat up to medium, and cook the mushrooms for 10 minutes. Stir regularly to prevent burning.
Now, add salt, black pepper, nutmeg, thyme, and garlic to the skillet and stir well. Once combined with the vegetables, sprinkle the top with flour and cook on low heat for 2 minutes.
To the skillet, add vegetable stock and soy milk. Stir, and cook on low for 10 minutes. Make sure to stir it on a regular basis to prevent it from burning.
Mix in the vegan cheese, and then taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve over pasta, rice, or potatoes.
