Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 16 oz (450 g) mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or shiitake)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
• Salt to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Cooked pasta or rice (for serving)

Preparation Steps

Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Next, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until they release their moisture and become browned, approximately 8-10 minutes. Stir in the smoked paprika, thyme, and black pepper to enhance the flavor.

Pour in the coconut milk and soy sauce, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste and add salt as needed.

Serve the mushroom stroganoff over cooked pasta or rice, garnished with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy this hearty, creamy, and vegan-friendly dish!
