  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a touch of color and freshness to the dish.
  • If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, warm the stroganoff gently on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. You may need to add a splash of chicken broth or water to loosen the sauce.

Helpful Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use a combination of different types of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, or button mushrooms.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add an extra tablespoon of flour when making the roux.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding more paprika, garlic, or other herbs and spices.
  • For a lighter version, you can substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt.
