Mushroom Stroganoff over Fettuccine Recipes - How Foods Fight Cancer

MAKES 6 SERVINGS

This hearty stroganoff is made with seitan, a fat-free, high-protein meat alternative made from
wheat. Seitan is sometimes called “wheat meat” because of its amazing ability to mimic meat
in taste and texture. It is sold in the refrigerated section of natural food stores and many large
grocery stores.

11⁄2 cups plus 2 tablespoons water
1 small onion, diced
1 pound cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
6 to 8 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces seitan, cut into strips
1 cup roasted red bell peppers, chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted tomato paste
2 teaspoons paprika
1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1⁄4 cup raw cashews
11⁄2 cups cooked or canned white beans, rinsed and drained
1⁄2 cup bean cooking liquid, water, or vegetable broth
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
12 ounces fettuccine


1. Heat 1⁄2 cup of the water in a large nonstick skillet. Add the onion and
cook and stir over high heat for about 5 minutes, until translucent.

2. Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the mushrooms, garlic, and 2
more tablespoons of the water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring
occasionally.

3. Add the seitan, bell peppers, tomato paste, paprika, and pepper.
Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.

4. Combine the cashews and the remaining cup of water in a blender.
Process on high speed until completely smooth, about 2 minutes. Add
the beans and the bean cooking liquid and process on high for about
1 minute, until completely smooth. Pour into the skillet with the
mushrooms. Add the vinegar and soy sauce and stir until evenly
mixed. Heat gently, adding additional water as needed, 1 tablespoon
at a time, to achieve the desired consistency.

5. Cook the fettuccine in boiling water until just tender. Drain and
rinse under cold water. Top with the mushroom mixture and serve
immediately.

6. Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Mushroom
Stroganoff over Fettuccine will keep for up to 2 days.
