This Vegetarian Stroganoff is a recipe I came up with when I was really craving one my very favourite dishes but I wanted my whole family to enjoy it, including my vegetarian daughter, and I reeeeeeally didn’t want to make two separate dishes. Mission accomplished.
Halloumi Stroganoff. Oh my goodness. I don’t know what to say except… make this. Make this for dinner tonight.
If you’re already a beef stroganoff fan I promise you will not be disappointed. All the flavours you’re expecting are here. It’s creamy and rich and loaded with hearty mushrooms, sharp dijon and tangy sour cream. And then! And then… the salty squeakiness of Halloumi cheese will blow your mind. It is so satisfying.
Anything Special You Need to Know?
*I used cremini mushrooms for this dish, but you really can use whatever mushrooms you have. Basic white button mushrooms are equally delicious.
*I serve this over egg noodles, and I really do think they’re best, but if you can’t get your hands on them this would be good on regular pasta, or mashed potatoes, or rice, or just a spoon…
*I normally use Worcestershire sauce in my Stroganoff, but did’t have a vegetarian one on hand, so I left it out, added soy sauce and boosted up the dijon. I promise you’ll be very happy.
Never tried a Halloumi Recipe before?
Don’t be scared. Pretty much all you really need to know is if you like cheese, you’ll love Halloumi. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never met a cheese I didn’t like. But… if you really need convincing and you want to take a deep dive into Halloumi to learn more about it… Read this.
