Treat your ingredients with care...

• Mushrooms — Make sure to clean the mushrooms thoroughly before slicing. Use a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe off any dirt or debris. Avoid washing them under running water as mushrooms tend to absorb water and become soggy.

Tips & Tricks

• For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of white wine to the sauce while simmering.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and add it to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking.
• Feel free to customize the dish by adding your favorite herbs and spices, such as thyme or smoked paprika, to enhance the flavors.

Serving advice

Serve the Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff hot over a bed of fluffy rice or egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Presentation advice

To elevate the presentation, arrange a few whole sautéed mushrooms on top of the dish. Drizzle a swirl of sour cream over the mushrooms and sprinkle with paprika for an elegant touch.
