When I was in a supermarket I came across some frozen Quorn steak-style strips on offer. Perfect for making a veggie ‘beef’ stroganoff. This is an amalgamation of various recipes based on what I had available at the time. You could add green beans or anything else as well as the mushroom to bulk it out. We kept it simple but served with lots of extra veg as well as rice.
