#225 The Case of Mushroom Stroganoff on Creste di Gallo

Fusion fun: Mushroom Stroganoff has Russian roots and Creste di Gallo pasta is obviously Italian.

4 cups creste di gallo pasta
1 cup sliced red onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
16 oz brown, cremini mushrooms, sliced (or 3 oz dried mushrooms, reconstituted in room temperature water for 20 min., drained—saving the liquid for bouillon—and rinsed)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon thyme
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 cup vegan sour cream
1 rounded teaspoon (for 1 cup) vegetable bouillon powder
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons grainy mustard
2 teaspoons ketchup
salt
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Cook the creste di gallo pasta until al dente then drain.

While the pasta is cooking, sauté the onion in the olive oil for 5 min., stirring frequently. The onion will start to caramelize. If the onion is getting too dark, add a tablespoon of water to slow down the process.

Add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme and rosemary and continue sautéing and stirring for another 5 min. (Only a couple min. if using dried mushrooms.)

Stir in the vegan sour cream, vegetable bouillon powder, cornstarch, mustard and ketchup.

Salt to taste.

Serve over the pasta or mix in.

Sprinkle with the minced, fresh parsley.

Serves 4.

Welcome Foodies!

Wonderful to meet  YOU ! At Vegetarian Detective, I share with you some of my favourite veggie, vegan and raw recipes. I know you’ve noticed that eating meat-free is a popular trend everywhere. Even going veggie just once a week. There are many reasons why. This is how. You're also invited to get to know me (Cynthia's favourite character) better by reading the mystery novels I'm in: A Purse to Die For and A Killer Necklace . Yours, Becki Green (Vegetarian Detective)

#110 The Case of Poutine

"Poutine is a typical Canadian dish (originally from Quebec ), made with French fries , topped with brown gravy and curd cheese ."—Wikipedia N utritionists worldwide may be screaming in horror that poutine has captured the world by storm but, proud Canadian that I am, I'm shouting, "Yippee!" To be sure, vegetarians are reputed to eat more along the lines of tofu, broccoli and brown rice but an occasional poutine won't kill us. In fact, fast-food poutine makes quite a comforting indulgence! Did you know that poutine gravy, which is generally made from a mix, is vegetarian? Valerie of McCormick Canada Inc. confirmed to me by phone that Club House Brown Gravy Mix contains no meat products. Silly to write out a recipe. All you do is sprinkle French fries with cheese curds then pour brown gravy over top. Seriously...yum! ♥ Becki PS To leave me (and Cynthia) a message, click on the comment button below.
