Step-by-Step Instructions for Mushroom and Seitan Stroganoff
  1. Begin by finely chopping one medium onion and mincing two cloves of garlic. Slice ten ounces of fresh mushrooms and eight ounces of seitan into thin strips.
  2. In a large skillet, heat two tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for 5-7 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, raising the heat to medium-high. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until the mushrooms release moisture and turn golden brown.
  4. Push the mushroom mixture to one side of the skillet and add the sliced seitan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly browned.
  5. Sprinkle one tablespoon of flour over the mixture and stir for about 2 minutes. Gradually pour in 1½ cups of vegetable broth while stirring continuously.
  6. Add one cup of dairy-free sour cream, one tablespoon of Dijon mustard, one tablespoon of soy sauce, one teaspoon of smoked paprika, and half a teaspoon of dried thyme. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
  7. While the stroganoff sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta of choice, cooking according to package instructions.
  8. Combine the drained pasta with the stroganoff sauce in the skillet, tossing gently to coat. Serve with parsley and lemon wedges.
