This rich mushroom stroganoff makes a comforting and indulgent dinner. Serve with silky mashed potatoes and steamed greens – or rice would be just as nice.

INGREDIENTS
SERVES: 4
60g butter
600g chestnut mushrooms, quartered
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 banana shallots, finely chopped
1 tsp sweet paprika, plus extra to sprinkle
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
2 tbsp tomato paste
50ml brandy
250ml beef stock or vegetable stock
200ml double cream
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 heaped tbsp sour cream
3 tbsp flat leaf parsley, finely chopped, plus extra to garnish
To serve:
Mashed potatoes or rice
Steamed greens
METHOD
1: Add a splash of olive oil and 20g of the butter to a large non-stick sauté pan. Place the pan over a high heat, and when the butter is foaming, add half the mushrooms and cook until browned. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and set aside. Add another splash of oil and butter and repeat with the remaining mushrooms.
2: Place the pan back onto the heat and add another splash of oil and the remaining butter. Add the shallots to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the shallots have softened. Next, stir in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
3: Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the sweet paprika and sweet smoked paprika for 1 minute, before adding the tomato paste and stirring for a further minute.
4: Add the brandy and flambé. Pour in the stock and stir well. Bring the sauce up to a simmer and cook until the liquid reduces by half. Stir in the cream and simmer again until the sauce reduces by half.
5: Add the mushrooms back to the pan along with the Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and stir through the sour cream and parsley. Serve over warm mashed potatoes or rice, with steamed greens on the side, if you like. Sprinkle with a little extra parsley and paprika.
