Here’s a deliciously addicting weeknight dinner that will go on our regular rotation – Instant Pot Mushroom Stroganoff! I love how simple and fast this is to make, while not compromising depth or flavor. And the nice part is, this can also be made vegan or on the stove top!  Truth be told, I’ve never really been a huge stroganoff fan, so I was a little skeptical about this one.

It was such a surprise when I realized I couldn’t put my fork down! Neither could Brian. We pretty much gobbled it up. I admit, the vegetarian version, using real sour cream, is better than the vegan version, but the vegan version is pretty good too. Serve it up with a large healthy green salad and give it a go this week and see what you think!

And yes of course you can make this recipe on the stove top- see the recipe notes!

Life is going in a nice gentle rhythm. Normally this time of year we are taking off to go travel after a summer packed with catering weddings. But since we’ve stopped catering, there hasn’t been this real urge to escape. Plus it’s so beautiful here this time of year with all the falling leaves.  I love the crackly sound the leaves make underfoot, a path of golden light. It feels good to soak up this season and be here fully.

I know most of you come here for the recipes, so I won’t babble on too much about my life. But I will say, that I’m feeling very grateful to have this space here with you. I feel honored that you come to the blog and visit me. In a way, it’s like you’ve stopped by my house and we’re just sitting here chatting about life and drinking tea.  It’s become this gentle, calming, peaceful place. Thank you for this.

To make this vegan, simply sub vegan sour cream.

Keep in mind, you want the vegan cream to have a bit of tang, so if  you go the cashew cream route, you will probably need to a tiny splash of lemon juice or vinegar to give this the traditional “stroganoff” tangy flavor.

• Total Time: 30 minutes
• Yield: 4
• Category: main, pasta, instant pot recipe, vegetarian, vegan adaptable
• Method: instant pot
• Cuisine: Russian

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ a red onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, rough chopped
• 16 ounces mushrooms, sliced (cremini, shiitake, button)
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• ¼ cup cooking sherry (or sub white wine)
• 2 cups veggie broth
• 2 tablespoons mustard (whole grain or dijon)
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 8 ounces pasta (rotini, penne) about a scant 3 cups

Stir in after cooking:

• ½ to ¾ cup sour cream ( or sub vegan sour cream)

Instructions

1. Heat oil on “sauté” function.  Add onion, garlic, mushrooms, salt and pepper and saute 7-9 minutes or until mushrooms release their liquid.
2. Add sherry wine,  broth, mustard and flour and stir well. Add the  pasta, stir.
3. Set instant pot to pressure cook on high for 3-4 minutes. (see notes)
4. Manually release ( placing a towel over the steam).
5. Stir in the sour cream, and keep on warm setting for 5-10 minutes. Sauce will thicken slightly, but will remain “saucy” enough for dipping garlic bread.
6. Sometimes for extra depth I’ll add a teaspoon of soy sauce in at the end, up to you.

Notes

Instant Pot cooking times will vary depending on pasta. A good rule of thumb is to halve the cooking time on the pasta directions on the package and subtract one minute. For example, 9 minutes on the package would be  4 minutes in the pressure cooker.

You can make this on the stove top, following the same directions, just cook the pasta separate. Cook the sauce down to desired consistancy, drain the pasta, add it to the pot and stir in sour cream last. Save some pasta water incase you want to loosen up the sauce a bit.
