Mocking Sour Cream with 3 Ingredients
Jamie Oliver’s Mushroom Stroganoff Video Recipe
If you have a pack of mushrooms which is going to turn bad soon, try this recipe!
In one shot, I used up a 250g mushroom. You could even use more, like Jamie Oliver. He suggested using 400g. I guess it’d be more umami and more tasty, right?
What is Stroganoff?
I just looked it up because of this recipe.
Stroganoff is a Russian stew dish. The famous one is Beef Stroganoff. Its sauce consists of beef stock, with sour cream, mustard and whisky. Mushroom is often used in this dish. But I don’t have whisky, so I just used a regular white wine.
Mocking Sour Cream with 3 Ingredients
I also didn’t have any sour cream on hand, so I substituted capers, Worcester sauce and crème fraîche, and at last I squeezed in some fresh lemon juice. I guess it works!
Curry Boy said,’it has a complex flavour! What did you use?’
After I gave him the answer, he said, ‘Wow! So many ingredients and seasonings inside, that’s why it is so yummy!’
