Mixed Mushroom Stroganoff.
Yeah, There’s Paula on my Left Arm.
pop quiz: the lyric above is from what song and artist? clue: originally it was Flo on the left, but, I guess, the lads at the seaside made it more state-side friendly with Paula.
Mike and Paul, a couple of friends of ours, run a small walking holiday company. In summer they offer walking holidays in the ‘winter ski resorts’ of ‘Chamonix‘ and ‘the Dolomites‘. On their holidays in the French Alps, Paula does the all the cooking so her recipe book is bulging. I’ve taken a few of her favourites to share.
Paula doesn’t like vegetarians to feel odd, so this is a great veggie version of stroganoff for when everyone else is eating beef. It is a really substantial meal and is great served with Basmati rice. Paula says any mix of mushrooms will do, but suggests a few porcini mushrooms, whilst a bit expensive, add great flavour.
