Notes on ingredients

• Cremini  or brown button mushrooms: For this recipe, I used Cremini (brown button) mushrooms because they have firmer flesh and a more pronounced earthy flavor than white mushrooms. 
• Cashews: Raw cashews are the perfect dairy-free alternative for heavy cream.
• Dijon mustard: Dijon mustard adds a bit of punch to the sauce.
• Tapioca flour: Tapioca flour is great for thickening sauces.
• Leeks: I love adding leeks to sauces. They have a sweeter, more subtle and mild taste than onions. If you don’t have or love leeks, thinly sliced shallots will make an excellent alternative.
• Garlic: Garlic gives an additional flavor.
• Parsley: Parsley enhances flavors and adds balance.
• Spices and seasonings (salt, pepper, lemongrass powder): Spices can transform a meal by adding a range of flavors, from a hint of sweetness to a kick of heat. Feel free to customize this recipe by adding more of your favorite spices and herbs.

How to make it

Cashew cream

• Drain cashews well and put them into a high-speed blender along with water, Dijon mustard, and tapioca flour.
• Blend until very smooth. Set aside.
• Note: You can also use an immersion blender to achieve a smooth texture.

Mushroom Stroganoff

• Add finely chopped leeks and 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or 2 tablespoons of water for an oil-free version) to a large pot over medium heat. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until the leeks looks translucent.
• Add in sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 6-8 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender (and the liquid evaporates).
• Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 45 seconds.
• Stir in cashew cream and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, add parsley,  sprinkle in salt, pepper, and lemongrass powder , cover, and allow it to simmer for 10-15 minutes. Stir frequently. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
• You can add more water for a thinner consistency.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or gluten-free pasta.
• Top with roasted mushrooms (optional) and garnish with parsley.
