Delicious root vegetable stroganoff

Brighten up your dinner table with this vibrant root vegetable Stroganoff.
Chunky carrots, beets and swede in a tangy paprika and yogurt sauce. Delicious!

We get an organic vegetable box delivered every week, which has its pros and cons. The pros, of course, are the fresh, seasonal, local, delicious vegetables that appear every Thursday with no effort required on our part. The main con is that I then have to come up with something to do with them!

Winter roots

Recently, we’ve had a lot of winter root vegetables, as you would expect for the time of year. I usually roast them, and occasionally make soup. However I felt we were getting into a rut and I wanted to cook something a bit different. This delicious Stroganoff started out as a winter vegetable stew, but at some point I had the brilliant idea of adding natural yogurt and paprika and turning it Russian. 

It worked fantastically, as beetroot has a natural affinity for tangy or salty dairy products like sour cream, yogurt or feta cheese – check them out together in this recipe for beetroot risotto with herby feta cheese.

Ingredients for Root Vegetable Stroganoff

This rich and tasty vegetarian stew is made with just a few simple ingredients, but it tastes fantastic! To make it you will need:

• onions
• carrots
• beetroot (beets)
• swede – sometimes called turnip or rutabaga depending on your location
• olive oil and butter
• seasonings – dried thyme and paprika
• vegetable stock
• natural plain yogurt
• fresh parsley to garnish – not essential but it does look lovely!

Root vegetable Stroganoff – Vibrant colours

As with any dish containing beetroot, the colour of everything turned a rich and vibrant magenta. So much so that my daughter Kipper and DH struggled to identify which other vegetables they were eating. I suppose we rely on visual clues as much as smell/taste when it comes to food. One thing we all agreed upon though was that it tasted really good.

What to eat with root vegetable Stroganoff

We had our root vegetable Stroganoff with rice as you can see in the photos. However I think it would also be great with mashed potato – definitely one to add to the Pesach menu planner!

You can really choose any carby side that absorbs the lovely sauce, so couscous, quinoa or even some warm crusty bread would be perfect.

Whatever you have with it, this Stroganoff is a real winter veg favourite!
