Method

Your notes

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients.

2

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook 6-7 minutes, until darkened and reduced.

3

Add the leek and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

4

Then add the chicken pieces and cook for 4-5 minutes, until cooked through. (They won’t turn brown due to the moisture in the pan).

5

Add the paprika, nutritional yeast, mustard and Worcestershire sauce and stir to coat.

6

Pour over the coconut milk. Bring to a gentle simmer.

7

Once the pan is bubbling add the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until wilted.

This was very good but it needs more seasoning. Next time we will add more mustard and Worcestershire.

Michelle 2 months ago

This is so easy to prepare after work, however I felt it needed seasoning as very bland even though I was generous with the nooch and smoked paprika. Otherwise I will defo make this again

Jacqueline 2 months ago

Really easy to make, healthy and delicious
I added silken tofu to the sauce with some cannellini beans (not sure if they usually go in a stroganoff)
The sauce is a lovely colour once cooked
Kept laughing as I though of the phrase, don’t use beef stew as a password as it’s not stroganoff (strong enough)
This recipe is a keeper

Rachel 2 months ago

Would be great to have a few substitution recommendations but delicious nonetheless.

I used Fava bean paste from Hodmedods instead of the Worcestershire sauce for a bit of umami

Eva 2 months ago

I added more seasoning (Paprika, Cayenne Pepper) but I thought it was great that I could make this with Coconut Milk instead of sour cream or even cream - 5 out of 5

Angela 2 months ago

I loved this. The flavour was great. I probably could have had it with a grain just to soak up some of the liquid.

Tonya 2 months ago

Lick the plate delicious!!! We loved this one - beautiful and hearty too!

We avoid all upf and Worcestershire sauce and mustard came up as upf so I didn’t add them but still tasted good.

Tracey 3 months ago

Delicious!

Doesn’t even deserve 1 star - sorry a big gluey consistency!! Too much psyllium maybe?? Very disappointing will add more coconut milk to see if I can break the glue down???

Tasted a bit artificial

Amazing as always ❤️

I used marmite for yeast extract as I thought they were same. It was too much and I didn’t use all of it. It was nice though.

Sarah 4 months ago

Valerie 4 months ago

Made this with leftover roasted chicken thighs - all the other ingredients were to hand. It was truly delicious, two portions tonight servied with wholemeal basmati rice and two portions for the freezer.

Very taste great to get kids eatting more veg blended in and l served with small amount of brown rice which maded it more filling ,As a family we are enjoying cooking together fresh and l have even ordered Dr kitchen cooking book .

Kelly 4 months ago

I enjoyed the flavors and the creamy sauce. Easy to make and not a lot of complicated prep. Now that I've purchased spices and yeast, won't be as pricey to make next time. I neglected to buy spinach, so I used kale instead. Will definitely make this one again.

Pam 4 months ago

Really good. Enjoyed the flavours

Needs more flavour - family feedback was it was a bit bland.

4 months ago

Maybe add a little salt. How many servings is this for?

Ana 4 months ago

The coconut milk flavor comes through a bit too strongly. Have you tried making a version with plain yogurt instead?

Claire 4 months ago

So so lovely and really is a winter warmer - comforting healthy food

Anne 4 months ago

This went down a treat! Served it with potatoes mashed with olive oil which made it even more of a treat!

Frederick 4 months ago

Really enjoyed this recipe. I did add some boiled baby potatoes (separately cooked) as I felt that it needed to be more substantial. Rice could be another alternative.

Randeep 5 months ago

Delicious, although I substituted the yeast for soya sauce. It tastes pretty good!
