    How to Prepare Creamy Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff with Tempeh

    1. Slice the tempeh into quarters for easier handling, then crumble the tempeh about the size of your thumbnail. Add it to a medium pot with 4 cups of vegetable broth and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.
    2. Bring the broth to a boil, lower medium-high heat, cover, and simmer the tempeh for 20 minutes. Drain the tempeh crumbles, then use the back of a spoon to press the crumbles against the side of a colander to remove as much moisture as possible.
    3. Start the water for the pasta and cook according to the package instructions as you cook the stroganoff.
    4. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat, then add the onions and leeks. Cook for 5 minutes, often stirring, until they soften.
    5. Add the garlic, thyme, paprika, and tempeh. Continue cooking and stirring, and let the tempeh brown a bit.
    6. Stir in the mushrooms and let them cook until they are soft and their moisture is released.
    7. Deglaze the pan by adding 1 cup of white wine. Cook for another 5 minutes or until most of the wine has evaporated. Stir the bottom of the pan to pick up any veggies from the bottom.
    8. Stir in the plant milk, mustard, and vegan Worcestershire sauce. Simmer on low for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
    9. Once the pasta is done, drain it and add it directly to the stroganoff sauce or serve the sauce over the cooked pasta.
    10. Squeeze in half a lemon, then taste. Add salt and black pepper.

    Notes

    I used button mushrooms for this recipe, but you can use any kind of mushrooms or a mix. Be sure to wipe them with a paper towel, rather than rinsing them so they don’t get waterlogged. If you decide not to use tempeh, consider adding soy crumbles, TVP (textured vegetable protein), bulgur, or another grain.
