Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the sausages in the peri-peri spice and paprika mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Adjust the spiciness by increasing or decreasing the amount of peri-peri spice according to your preference.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer the dish for a few extra minutes to reduce the liquid.
- Serve the stroganoff with a side of tangy pickles or a fresh salad to balance the richness of the dish.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated the next day for an equally delicious meal.

Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, place a generous scoop of the stroganoff in the center of a plate and garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley. Surround the dish with a ring of fluffy rice or slices of warm, crusty bread. The vibrant red sauce against the white rice or bread creates an appealing visual contrast.
