Portobello Mushroom Stroganoff

A hearty, Russian classic, our budget-friendly, clean version replaces the beef with portobellos, making up for lost protein with tofu in the creamy sauce. The family will be saying “spasiba” in no time.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 12 oz whole-wheat egg noodles

  • 4 oz white mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced

Nutritional Bonus:

Mushrooms are not only low-cal wonders - one white mushroom contains only 5 calories and is fat-free; 1 oz of portobello mushrooms contains 10 calories and zero fat (that includes saturated fat!) - but they are also an impressive source of potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure and maintain heart health.  Just 5 oz of mushrooms contain more potassium than a banana!
