Why this recipe works
This dairy free and gluten free stroganoff recipe is packed full of flavour. It is a really healthy, hassle free version that can be made with minimal time and effort. Plus, I wanted to create a recipe using plenty of mushrooms as they are currently in season in the UK. Although often given a bad rep, mushrooms are extremely versatile, super flavourful and an ideal meat replacement for vegetarian and vegan dishes! I (personally) love them!
I was inspired to create this recipe as my Mushroom Stroganoff Pasta Bake was so popular! However, I wanted to create another recipe, with a bit more depth and a full body to it, perfect for these Autumnal/Winter nights! Oh and if you LOVE mushrooms and pasta (like me) you have to try my 5 Ingredient Vegan Mushroom Pasta.

Ingredients to make One Pot Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff
- Mushrooms – I’ve used white mushrooms, but this recipe would also work with chestnut mushrooms. The mushrooms really take the texture of this One-Pot Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff to the next level! Got any spare then chuck them into my Black Bean Quesadillas recipe.
- Coconut Milk – adds creaminess to the stroganoff and pairs well with the other flavours. It also adds an extra nutty flavour to the Mushroom Stroganoff without it being too overbearing.
- Lemon – provides the perfect level of acidity and cuts through the coconut milk well
- Onion – I’ve used a red onion to increase flavour, but you could also use a white onion or shallot if preferred.
- Parsley – parsley is a great versatile herb to use. It is fresh, adds some colour and has an earthy taste.
- Dijon Mustard – I’ve added dijon mustard to this recipe to give this Stroganoff recipe the perfect amount of acidity, depth and flavour.
- Paprika – this adds more flavour and depth as well as giving a subtle smokey flavour
- Garlic – Using garlic offers a gentle spice and adds flavour.
See recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Substitutions
- Mushrooms – I’ve used white mushrooms, but chestnut or oyster mushrooms would also work well.
- Parsley – if you would prefer to use another herb such as coriander instead of parsley, this would also work well with the Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff.
- Dijon Mustard – If you don’t have any dijon mustard in the fridge currently, you could swap this out for another variation of mustard e.g wholegrain mustard. Ideally try and keep the quality of mustard high!
Variations
- Deluxe – This recipe is already at its ‘A game’ but if you wanted to make it more deluxe, you could use oyster mushrooms instead of chestnut mushrooms. This will also give it a ‘meatier’ texture. I’d also recommend serving this Mushroom Stroganoff with my Air Fryer Roast Potatoes to really take it to the next level!
- Kid-friendly – I created this recipe for all of the family to enjoy. If you have a child that isn’t that keen on mushrooms, perhaps my Vegan Mac and Cheese recipe would be a good one to try with them.
- Spicy – this recipe is mild and creamy. However to make it spicy, add either add some chilli flakes or you can check out my Spicy Butterbeans on Toast recipe which is another spicy recipe packed full of flavour!
Instructions to make One Pot Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff
Step 1: Firstly, roughly slice the mushrooms, dice the onion and crush the garlic.
Step 2: Heat a large shallow pan with oil, then add in the garlic, onion and mushrooms along with a decent pinch of salt and pepper. Lightly fry for 5 minutes, until the mushrooms have browned and softened.
Hint: Using a shallow pan helps to reduce the sauce down faster.
Step 3: Once the mushrooms are soft, add the coconut milk, dijon mustard, paprika and lemon juice and stir well. Cook on a high heat for 20-25 minutes or until desired consistency. Keep stirring every 5-10 minutes.
Hint: Cooking on a high heat helps the sauce to thicken nicley.
Step 4: Finally, add some freshly chopped parsley and stir it into the stroganoff, leaving some to garnish for serving.
Leftovers
Store any cooled leftovers in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 3 days, or for up to 1 month in a freezer. You could also portion servings out into individual containers for meal-prep ahead of a busy week.

Vegan mushroom stroganoff de-lic-ious
Even my husband commented on how much he enjoyed it!
Just made this using a mixture of baby button and chestnut mushrooms. Couldn’t get coconut milk so used coconut greek yoghurt instead.Came out lovely and creamy,although I think I may leave out the lemon juice and put more dijon in next time as it was a bit too sweet and sickly
This was a hit. Easy. Quick. Full of flavour, thick and creamy and a beautiful colour.
Excellent recipe! Thank you for this gluten free recipe.
One of the tastiest meals I’ve ever tried. I’m not Vegan I cooked this for my Vegan GF but I would order that in a heartbeat. Barry
Sorry, I was too busy tucking into this fabulous dish to remember to take a photograph! Mine didn’t look quite as dark in colour. I expect that if I had left it a few moments longer, it may have deepened in shade, but we were too eager to tuck in! I could not find Dijon mustard, so just used English instead. Will definitely be making this again. Thank you!
Has no-one else had trouble with the quantities? I made this yesterday with one onion, half the amount of mushrooms and half the amount of coconut milk, and still had enough for four people. I was delishious tho’.
Made this yesterday. Our little kids of 6 and 4 asked for a second portion. So we deffinately will make this again.
Full of flavour but disappointed with the texture, not as creamy as it should be despite following recipe exactly.
Easy recipe to follow and more importantly taste is superb.
Just made this ready for tomorrow. Yummy.
Its been years since I’ve made a stroganoff and this lived up to the expectation, it was simply delicious!
It looks really tasty. Have you tried cooking this in a slow cooker? Does it work just as well?
I’m making this recipe in the slow cooker today. It doesn’t thicken so you will need some thickening granules to get your desired consistency. I’ve made it before in the slow cooker, very tasty and minimal effort.
Hi Kim, theres always more liquid than youd imagine with the slo-cooker, isnt there. Once the recipe is cooked, & leaving the heat on, I leave the lid off to let evaporation do its thing to help with thickening. Cheers.
Delish. Smells so yummy.
Thank you Michelle!
This was great! Has been on repeat here. I’ve found to not put over a high heat (boil) after adding the coconut, but a strong simmer -otherwise it releases all of it’s oils and looks greasier. Brilliant taste regardless 🙂
Absolutely yummy! I used one can of coconut milk and glad I did. Two would have been way too much (even when I used a shallow pan).
Very easy recipe and very tasty result. Thanks.
Thanks Adele 🙂 glad you enjoyed it!
I made this last night. It was absolutely delicious. The sauce is so tasty, a real subtle rich taste. I changed the servings to 2. Also used 2 different types of mushrooms. So good and can’t wait to make it again. Thank you James.
I made this yesterday evening and even though I cannot eat onion & garlic (I left these out), it was really delicious, creamy and so easy to make. Thanks James!
Really delicious! Made it with oyster mushrooms instead, a little mushy but still super flavorful.
soo good! subbed coconut milk with soya cuisine and dijon with spicy mustar! still super good
Thanks Helene, great to hear those adjustments worked for you 🙂
Followed the recipe exactly and was so tasty, even my partner complimented me! Thank you I’ll be making this again
Yay 🙂 so pleased you both enjoyed!
Really enjoyed this recipe. Thank you.
Thanks Helen 🙂 pleased you enjoyed it!
Really lovely flavour, however really hard to thicken.
Amazing& wonderful !
Hi James… I’ve made this a number of times and it’s honestly one of my favourite meals! Always been a winner to serve for friends.
Just wondering if the recipe work with whole grain mustard? It’s the only type I have in my fridge at the moment!
Hey Rachael, so pleased you love the recipe 🙂 Yes don’t see why wholegrain mustard wouldn’t work. Let me know if you can see much difference.
delicious, I didn’t add onions as I don’t like them and didn’t have dijon mustard so added english mustard and it tastes amazing.
Thank you Suz, so pleased you enjoyed it even with those changes 🙂
Where did you get your shallow stove top dish?
Thanks
Hey Virginia, I just got mine from Homesense but most home/cookware shops will stock them! Enjoy 🙂
This is absolutely delicious. My husband and I loved it. Will definitely make again.
Thank you
Thank you Julie, glad you both enjoyed it 🙂
Hi James
Just made vegan mushroom stroganoff it was so tasty, this will be one of my monthly meals. My husband and I loved it. Thank you so much, will be trying some of your other recipes too.
Yay thank you Sarah Anne, so pleased to hear you both enjoyed it and that it will become a monthly recipe!
Absolutely delicious. Cooked it for 10 friends for a New Years Eve supper party it went down an absolute storm only 2 of us veggie but think from everyone else’s reaction your recipe will give our friend’s food for thought ….
Thanks so much.
Whoop!! Just what I love to hear 🙂 glad you all enjoyed it Kat
Absolutely gorgeous!
I didn’t have a shallow pan so it took longer to thicken up but I slightly cheated the process by adding corn flour to thicken it quicker.
This recipe is so easy to follow but yet so tasty! I made double so my husband and I had some with rice for dinner, then the next day he took some to work with pasta and I had some for lunch over a sweet jacket potato, absolutely delicious!!
Thank you James for yet another delicious recipe xx
Yay glad you enjoyed it Lisa 🙂 thanks for the review!
Looks yummy. Would coriander work instead of parsley? Not keen on parsley! Thanks
Yes definitely 🙂
Hi there, just made this dish. Very tasty but the sauce was so runny. I cooked it for an extra half an hour but it was still much too runny. I followed the recipe to the letter. Where have I gone wrong?
Hey Terri, sorry this happened for you. I suspect it was due to using a deep pot rather than a shallow one (mentioned in the method) as the liquid is dispersed more in a shallow casserole dish and reduces much faster. Hope that helps for next time 🙂
I’m cooking this recipe as I type. I’ve only added one can of coconut milk, and it’s plenty. I’ve also used smoked paprika, and only half the lemon juice. It’s tasting great! I have to keep sampling it……
Loved the recipe and had incredible flavour. I did use smoked paprika and added 2T. of nutritional yeast to help thicken and add a little “cheesiness!” Fantastico!
Thank you Tamara, so pleased you enjoyed it!
Hi James loved the dish for its easy prep and hands off. Was sceptical about so many mushrooms cooking down but it was perfect! I added some Braggs seasoning as I found the coconut milk a bit coconutty and sweet for me. Do you think A good quality soy milk could replace the coconut milk? My husband has a sweeter tooth than me and raced about it, but I’d prefer not to taste coconut in a dish a served with pasta.
Yummy and easy …
Oh and I added baby spinach as another reader suggested and wow. Plant based whole food diet… Powers On!!
Hey Petra, so pleased you enjoyed it! I would do a mixture of soya cream and milk if you wish to swap it out for coconut milk. Let me know how it goes 🙂
Added the spinach, too. Fabulous!!! Ate mine over brown rice. Delicious!!
I made this in my instant pot exactly as written but threw in some linguine with it for a one pot wonder. The starch from the linguine thickened the sauce perfectly. Absolutely delicious – outstanding vegan comfort food!
Great to hear it worked out in the Instant Pot Jojo and so pleased you enjoyed the taste. Thanks for sharing your feedback 🙂
Could you tell me how long you cooked it in the Instant Pot please
Hey Sandy, unfortunately I haven’t tested it yet 🙁
This is so delicious! I made it using portobello mushrooms, yum! We enjoyed it with brown rice.
I so appreciate these recipes, thank you!
Thank you for the amazing feedback Sue 🙂
This recipe is lush. A lovely meaty texture with the chestnut mushrooms. We had it with rice. Next time I’m having it with pasta.
Thank you James
Yay 🙂 so happy you enjoyed it Samantha and thank you for leaving a great review!
Quick, easy and very tasty! I had it with rice noodles and added some spinach for a bit of extra goodness. Yum 🙂 Looking forward to trying out some more recipes. Thanks for the healthy inspiration James
Love this Catherine! Thank you so much for leaving a lovely review 🙂 I suggest trying one of the curries or stews next!
Hi James, this was a BIG hit in my house 🙂 We all loved it – first recipe I have tried (plus the banana loaf – separate comment for that one!! Thank you SOOOOO much for sharing these wonderful recipes. Game changer for me – usually spend such a long time in the kitchen, but this was a quick, fab, tasty recipe, LOVED it 🙂
That’s great news Diana! So pleased you’re enjoying the recipes 🙂

Thank you Elena, so pleased you enjoyed it!
Yummy dish, pretty and filling too
Yay so pleased you found it tasty and filling Mary! Thanks for leaving your feedback 🙂
I made it and love it! The sauce came out a little thinner so I let it cook for 7 extra minutes and it’s delicious. I’m sure I’ll make it again since it’s an easy one for me;) Thanks James for sharing!
Hey Ana, thank you for leaving your feedback. Really pleased you enjoyed it
Hi James! Am so excited to make this, but please help a cook out and convert the kilo of mushrooms into cups or grams. Thanks!
Hey Samatha, well it’s hard to do it in cups as mushrooms can vary so much in size but its 1000 grams.
Look forward to hearing what you think 🙂
James
Really delicious recipe. Definitely making this again
