Who Invented the Mushroom Stroganov?
No one really knows the answer to this question. Mushroom Stroganoff, Mushroom Strogonoff, or Mushroom Stroganov started off as a vegetarian variant of the Beef Stroganoff.
Using either cultivated or wild mushroom recipes, this Mushroom Stroganoff gives vegetarians the same heartiness that the Beef Stroganoff gives non-vegetarians.
The Beef Stroganoff is a 19th-century Russian invention that sautées beef in a sauce of sour cream with or without mustard.
The recipe was the creation of a French chef working for the Russian Stroganovs family. After some time the recipe was also published in Elena Molokhovets’s 1871 book called A Gift to Young Housewives.
And once the Stroganoff recipe was introduced to the world, it took on many forms, the Chicken Stroganoff, Mushroom Stroganoff, and more!
