Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff with Black Beans and Greek Yogurt Recipe
Introduction
Mushroom Stroganoff is a creamy, flavorful vegetarian twist on the classic Russian dish. Packed with hearty mushrooms and black beans, it makes a satisfying meal that’s perfect served over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 1 – 2 cloves garlic (grated)
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or 1 tablespoon corn starch)
- 1 tablespoon mustard (Dijon or yellow)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce)
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or oregano)
- 1 can black beans (15 oz / 400 g – rinsed, or 1½ cups / 230 g cooked beans)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ¾ teaspoon salt (+ black pepper, adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their water and turn golden. Season with ¾ teaspoon salt and black pepper.
- Step 2: Reduce heat to medium. Add chopped onion and cook for about 3 minutes until soft, stirring to prevent sticking. Add grated garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 3: In a bowl, whisk together vegetable broth, flour, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and dried thyme until smooth and free of lumps.
- Step 4: Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms and stir immediately. Add rinsed black beans and mix well. Let it simmer until thick and creamy, adding a splash of broth or water if it becomes too thick.
- Step 5: Turn off the heat and stir in Greek yogurt and chopped parsley until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve warm with your choice of rice, noodles, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread. Optionally, sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Tips & Variations
- For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with corn starch.
- Use smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor, or regular paprika for a milder taste.
- Replace black beans with cooked chickpeas for a different texture and flavor.
- To make it vegan, swap Greek yogurt for a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt or cashew cream.
- Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for extra depth of flavor before simmering.
Storage
Store leftover mushroom stroganoff in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat, adding a little water or broth if needed to loosen the sauce. Avoid overheating to prevent the yogurt from curdling.

Ingredients
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 – 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Sauce and Base
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or 1 tablespoon corn starch)
- 1 tablespoon mustard (Dijon or yellow)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce)
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or oregano)
Other Ingredients

- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Brown the mushrooms: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their water and begin to turn golden brown. Season with ¾ teaspoon salt and black pepper during cooking.
- Cook onion and garlic: Reduce the heat to medium. If necessary, add a drizzle more olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3 minutes until soft, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Add grated garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Make the sauce: While the mushrooms are cooking, whisk together the vegetable broth, flour, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and dried thyme in a bowl or measuring jug until smooth and lump-free.
- Simmer: Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms and onion immediately and stir well. Add the rinsed black beans and combine thoroughly. Let the mixture simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of broth or water to loosen it.
- Finish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the Greek yogurt and fresh parsley until the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm alongside rice, noodles, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread. Optionally, sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Notes
- You can substitute cornstarch for flour to make the sauce gluten-free.
- For a vegan version, replace Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use soy sauce instead of Worcestershire sauce.
