Vegan Stroganoff Recipe
Stroganoff is one of those comfort food recipes from my childhood that I needed to update and veganize. This is a classic, cold weather recipe we make often.
The protein in the quinoa makes up for the ... lack of meat. Didn't even miss it.
Also? Spell-check wanted to change stroganoff to strongman. The other day it changed mirepoix to firepower.

Do you deliver? I'm working tonight and I could really use this instead of the cold meal I had to pack for later. This would totally hit the spot right about now!!!

Beth @ Tasty Yummies says
Yes! This looks amazing! I'm so excited to make this, my mom always made beef stroganoff over egg noodles when we were kids and I always loved it. I haven't thought about it in years though, I'd love to make this vegan version. Thanks for sharing.

Heather (Where's the Beach) says
Now THAT is a stroganoff I could actually go for. That's one weird thing Jason always wants me to make. I've never made it. I hated it as a kid. But this one? Absolutely my kind of dinner. Hope your dad's doing well!
spabettie says
pretty sure I picked out the meat as a kid... 😉 I hope you try this one!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I've had a vegan stroganoff pinned since last winter and have yet to try it. Yours looks even better with that quinoa and the bellas. Maybe I will get it together and make this soon!
spabettie says
oh yes, I hope you do, Laura! its a really good one!
lindsay says
i like this twist on it. Quinoa soaks up more of the broth/gravy! and you are too sweet. I bet your dad is very thankful for YOU!
spabettie says
YES - the quinoa does do a great job as a gravy vehicle 😉
Abby says
Oh man. You combined some of my favorite things--quinoa, Earth Balance and mushrooms. There is fungus among us!
spabettie says
right? in fact, quinoa, Earth Balance and mushrooms - that sounds great just as is! 🙂
