Inspiration

I started with this. Original did not include a protein, so I added chickpeas. It also called for a lot more mushrooms. I did not have anymore to add, so I only used half the onion.

Closing

This is not the first time I made this, but it is the best it has ever turned out. It was the first time that I used coconut milk. I really liked it.

Growing up we had stroganoff all the time, though that recipe was usually with beef and sometimes chicken, it also included water chestnuts. We interchanged between rice and pasta. Rice is a healthier choice. I liked the rice.

I would double this the next time-- I just need more mushrooms!
