đ± Soy Protein and Mushroom Stroganoff A reinvented classic that will surprise even the most devoted meat-lovers!
This vegetarian version of stroganoff is creamy, comforting, and full of flavor, made with textured soy protein and mushrooms. Itâs an excellent option for a special lunch or a quick and practical weeknight dinner.
âIâve always been a fan of beef stroganoff, so I tried this soy protein version with some skepticism... but I was completely surprised! The texture of the soy is very similar to meat, the sauce turned out super creamy, and the flavor with the mushrooms is spectacular. I didnât even miss the meat! Now I even make it at home when I want a lighter meal.â â Eduardo M., 36 years old, non-vegetarian
