Vegan seitan portobello stroganoff

Seitan Portobello Stroganoff

Isa Chandra
Seitan and a double hit of mushrooms in a rich, vegan stroganoff sauce that doesn't contain cashew cream (for once). Served over wide noodles. A Vegan With a Vengeance classic that has been making people very happy for a long time.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 cups cold vegetable broth
  • 3 cups seitan sliced into 1/4-inch strips
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 cups shallots thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups cremini mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 2 portobello caps thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 pound fettuccine
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 cup plain unsweetened soy milk or any unsweetened nondairy milk
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup frozen green peas
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Dissolve the cornstarch in the vegetable broth and set aside.
  • Heat a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the seitan in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Lower the heat to medium.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the shallots. Sauté for 5 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic, cremini and portobello mushrooms, and thyme. Sauté for about 10 minutes, until the mushrooms have browned and released their moisture.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package directions.
  • Add the salt, wine, and paprika to the mushroom mixture. Turn the heat up to high and reduce the liquid, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the cornstarch mixture, stir well, and let the sauce thicken, about 7 minutes. Add the nutritional yeast, milk, and mustard. Mix well and lower the heat to low — do not let it boil at this point as it can make the milk and mustard bitter. Add the seitan and peas and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • Divide the noodles among bowls and top with the stroganoff. Serve immediately so the pasta doesn't stick. Garnish with fresh parsley if you like, and a dollop of vegan sour cream if you want to lean into the full stroganoff experience.
