    Ultra creamy and yet totally healthy, this vegan mushroom stroganoff is simply irresistible!  Sautéed mushrooms, onions and garlic are drenched in a savory vegan cream sauce created by blending the richness of coconut milk and cashews.

    The vegan stroganoff sauce is gluten-free and ready in under 25 minutes! Serve over pasta, rice, quinoa, or potatoes!

    Vegan Stroganoff is a decadent but healthy dish that can be whipped up quickly for a weeknight dinner or served with a few garnishes for a fancy holiday meal!  Whatever you decide to use it for, you're going to love the vegan Stroganoff sauce!

    How to make vegan Stroganoff:

    Step 1: In a large skillet or stock pot, sauté sliced mushrooms, diced onion, and minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat until onions are clear and soft (Photo #1).

    Step 2: While mushroom mixture is sautéing, blend together cream sauce ingredients until completely smooth (Photo #2).

    Step 3: Pour cream sauce over sautéed mushroom mixture and stir to combine. If you have a favorite vegan meat substitute that you would like to use, you can add that now.  In these photos, I added chopped bits of my tender vegan steaks. (Photos #3 & 4).

    Step 4: Heat sauce over medium heat stirring frequently until thickened and creamy!  

    That's it! Super easy!

    Stroganoff serving ideas:

    Traditionally, stroganoff is served over buttered egg noodles or mashed potatoes.  Toss your vegan pasta in just a bit of margarine to get that buttery flavor!  Or ladle your sauce over a bed of gluten-free pasta, brown rice, or fluffy quinoa if you don't eat regular pasta!

    Adding vegan protein:

    Adding a meat substitute is totally optional in this recipe.  Sometimes, you just need that added 'chew'.  I usually have some of my favorite vegan gluten steaks in the freezer that I can pull out, chop up, and add to the stroganoff, but store-bought subs work great as well!  

    In a pinch, firm tofu cubes can also add great texture!

    What kind of mushrooms work best for stroganoff?

    White or brown button mushrooms are perfect for a vegan stroganoff sauce.  Buy them sliced or whole, just be sure not to submerge in water when cleaning to letting them soak up extra moisture.  Use a paper towel or corner of a dish cloth to wipe and dirt off your mushrooms.

      It was great and tasted pretty much like my moms meat and sour cream stroganoff that she made. Mine wasn’t completely vegan but it was very good.
