We all love mushrooms in our house, they are always in the fridge which means this quick, easy recipe is a great standby one. However this week I had a handful of real mushroom beauties to use… that we had grown ourselves in the kitchen (using a mushroom growing kit before you query my cleaning skills!).
This is a lower fat, healthier take on mushroom stroganoff, perfect if you like something a little creamy, but are watching your waistline and your long term health. If it’s a treat night then add in a dash of cream if you are that way inclined 😉



- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 tsp paprika
- 500g mushrooms
- 100ml white wine
- 100ml vegetable stock
- 1 large handful of spinach or swiss chard or green beans
- 100ml natural yoghurt
- 2 tsp cornflour
- fresh herbs
- cracker black pepper
- dash of lemon juice
- Finely chop the onion and sweat in the oil, then add the garlic and paprika. Cook gently and add the mushrooms.
- Once the mushrooms have started to cook add in the white wine.
- As this reduces down add the stock in and leave to simmer for 15 minutes.
- Finely chop the spinach/swiss chard/beans and add in, allow to wilt down.
- Mix the cornflour with the yoghurt, reduce the heat and let it gently cook.
- Finally add in the pepper and lemon juice to taste and a handful of mixed fresh herbs (parsley, sage and savoury work well).
- Serve with rice.
