Simply Tweaked Beef Stroganoff


The original recipe called for the use of a pressure cooker, yet one more handy dandy thing I do not have in my repertoire of kitchen gadgets. So for this I used my regular slow cooker, just for the first bit. I used dried shitaki mushrooms instead of porcini (I couldn't find them in my local grocery store). While I had those steep in some hot water, I started browning my short ribs, which I cut in half.


I set them aside to rest and in the same oil I added in my onions and mushrooms and cooked until they became golden.



I added the remainder of the ingredients and let simmer for a few minutes. 

I then transferred the meat and veggies to my slow cooker and let it cook away on low for 4 hours. Afterwards I removed the meat and set it aside, and transferred the sauce to a deep pot, set it on high and added in my egg noodles when it began to boil. 

While the pasta cooked I sliced the beef, once the pasta was cooked through I added in the beef, dijon mustard, and instead of the sour cream the recipe called for I added coconut cream. (Let a can of coconut milk sit for a day either in your pantry or your refrigerator, the cream that solidifies on top is what you use, the rest you can either discard or save for a smoothie the next morning!)

Toss everything together and serve. Dairy free Beef Stroganoff, with all the yummy goodness of regular beef stroganoff.  Give it a try and let me know what your simple tweaks are!

Ingredients 

1 ounce dried shitaki mushrooms
1 1/2 cups boiling water
2 pounds boneless short ribs, cut into 2-inch pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound button mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
6 ounces egg noodles
1/3 cup coconut cream
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

  1. Soak shitaki mushrooms in the boiling water for 10 minutes. Chop mushrooms; strain and reserve mushroom liquid.
  2. Season meat with salt and pepper. In a 6-quart pressure cooker, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. 
  3. Working in batches, add meat and cook until browned on all sides, 5 minutes, adding more oil as needed. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Add remaining tablespoon oil, the button mushrooms, and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned, about 6 minutes. Add shitaki mushrooms, mushroom liquid, and chicken broth. 
  5. Place meat, and veggies into slow cook and set to low for 4 hours.
  6. After four hours remove mean, and place brother into a large pot, stir in egg noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium until tender, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat. 
  7. Slice meat and stir in coconut cream and dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper.

Simply Tweaked Haitian Stew (Soup Joumou)

Pretty much every year I look forward to having this stew. Why you ask? Well every year on January first my mother makes this. It is a traditional meal to celebrate Haitian independence day. But, there are times I cannot wait a whole year for this yummy stew, like now...so I made it. I always feel like I should consult my mother to re-tell me how to make this so I don't stray to far from the recipe. But I still like to make it my own. The original recipe calls for squash, but I decided to use pumpkin instead. Tis the season! I just love the feeling of picking my own fresh veggies and cooking with it, it is very rewarding! I ended up taking this little guy home with me! So I broke down this missive delicious pumpkin (used about half of it and stored the rest), cooked it in chicken stalk, and pureed it with sauteed garlic and shallots. To accompany it, I quartered 6 small yukon gold potatoes, chopped cabbage, 4 celery stalks chopped, 5 small carrots ch...

Coconut, Dill, and Cannellini Rice

This is a little tweak from my coconut and black bean rice, just as good, and just as simple. The only tweaks I made was to add about 3 tablespoons of dill, a can of cannellini beans, and nixed the nutmeg. The coconut milk really rounds out this dish and gives it a depth straight from the Caribbean. The dill gives it a light buttery  herby note while the cannellini beans give it a nice creamy finish. What tweaks can you make to this side dish? Coconut, Dill, and Cannellini Rice Ingredients 1 cup  coconut milk 1 cup Basmati rice 1 can cannellini beans (strained and rinsed) 1 shallot (minced) 1 cup water salt and pepper to taste 3 tablespoons dill  1 tablespoon unsalted butter Instructions 1. Heat a deep pan over medium low heat and melt butter. 2. Add minced shallots and saute until fragrant. 3. Add cup of rice and saute, about two minutes. 4. Add in the rest of the ingredients and put the stove on high and let boil for one minut...
