INGREDIENTS
  • 500g diced mutton
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 250g mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 150ml beef stock
  • 150ml sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
METHOD

  1. Prepare the Mutton:
    • Season the diced mutton with salt and pepper.
    • In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
    • Brown the mutton in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, ensuring a nice sear on all sides. Set aside the browned mutton.
  2. Cook the Vegetables:
    • In the same pan, add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
    • Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms have softened and released their juices.
  3. Create the Sauce:
    • Sprinkle the plain flour and paprika over the vegetables, stirring well to coat them evenly.
    • Gradually pour in the beef stock, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
    • Return the browned mutton to the pan, ensuring it is well coated with the sauce.
    • Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the mutton is tender.
  4. Finish the Dish:
    • Stir in the sour cream and Dijon mustard, mixing well until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
    • Allow the stroganoff to heat through, but do not let it boil to avoid curdling the sour cream.
    • Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve the mutton stroganoff over egg noodles or rice.
    • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Hot Tips

  • Searing the Mutton: Ensure the mutton is well-seared for maximum flavour. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will cause the meat to steam rather than brown.
  • Mushrooms: Use a mix of mushrooms like cremini and shiitake for a more complex flavour.
  • Sour Cream: Stir the sour cream in gradually and gently to prevent it from curdling. Keep the heat low once the sour cream is added.

Pairings

Red Wine:

  • Merlot: Its smooth and fruity characteristics complement the creamy sauce and tender mutton.
  • Shiraz: Offers bold, spicy notes that enhance the richness of the stroganoff.
  • Pinot Noir: A lighter red wine with earthy undertones that balance the dish's flavours.

White Wine:

  • Chardonnay: A full-bodied white wine with buttery and oaky notes that work well with the creamy sauce.
  • Viognier: Its aromatic and slightly spicy profile pairs nicely with the mutton and mushrooms.

Beer:

  • Amber Ale: Its maltiness and slight bitterness cut through the richness of the stroganoff.
  • Stout: The deep, roasted flavours of a stout can complement the dish’s savoury elements.

Non-Alcoholic:

  • Sparkling Water: A simple and refreshing choice that cleanses the palate.
  • Ginger Ale: Its subtle spice adds a nice contrast to the creamy dish.
  • Herbal Tea: A mild herbal tea, such as chamomile or peppermint, can offer a soothing accompaniment.
