This easy, creamy mushroom and spinach stroganoff recipe is a wonderful vegetarian feast, perfect served with potato rösti. 

Stroganoff is traditionally a beef dish, but mushrooms make a wonderful vegetarian substitute. Their earthy flavour and meaty texture are ideal with the creamy, mustard-laced sauce. Plus - great news if you're on a budget because they are a lot cheaper. This is one of our favourite cheap family meals, and it always goes down a treat. If you fancy making this even more special then we recommend swapping the normal mushrooms for chestnut or porcini mushrooms, or a mixture.

Ingredients

  • 700g mixed button and chestnut mushrooms, halved if larger than bite-sized

  • 2 tbsp olive oil 
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced

Top tip for making creamy mushroom and spinach stroganoff

This recipe is really versatile. You can serve it with mash or rice instead of the rösti, as a filling for a baked potato, or as a great pie filling: just top with puff pastry and bake.
