  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) mixed mushrooms (button, cremini, shiitake), sliced
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup sour cream or plant-based alternative
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour or gluten-free thickener
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: a splash of dry white wine for depth

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. If using, pour in a splash of white wine and simmer until reduced by half.
  5. Sprinkle the smoked paprika and dust with flour. Stir well to coat the mushrooms evenly.
  6. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Reduce the heat to low.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Ensure mushrooms are sliced evenly for uniform cooking.
  • For a vegan version, replace sour cream with coconut or cashew-based sour cream.
  • Use high-quality smoked paprika for a deeper smoky flavor.
  • Serve over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice for a filling meal.
