Share
On this World Vegan Day, we're excited to share a delicious and satisfying vegan recipe that will please the whole family, including meat lovers. Veganism isn't just about salads; it's about exploring a world of flavours and options. Even dedicating one day a week to a vegan diet can bring surprising health benefits, such as improved heart health, lower cholesterol, and reduced environmental impact.
Recipe: Creamy Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff
Ingredients:
12 oz (340g) fettuccine or your favourite pasta
2 cups (250g) sliced mushrooms (button, cremini, or wild mushrooms)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 can (14 oz) coconut milk (full fat)
1/2 cup vegetable broth
2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
Stir in the paprika and dried thyme and cook for another minute to release their flavours.
Pour in the coconut milk, vegetable broth, and soy sauce. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes until it thickens and becomes creamy.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasonings according to your preference.
Serve the creamy mushroom stroganoff over the cooked pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Health Benefits:
Vegan diets are naturally low in saturated fats, which can help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Plant-based diets are rich in fibre, promoting better digestion and maintaining a healthy weight.
By going vegan even one day a week, you reduce your carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable environment.
This Creamy Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff is a perfect way to celebrate World Vegan Day while savouring a satisfying and healthy meal.
It's a great introduction to the world of vegan cuisine and its potential health benefits.
Enjoy!
