Beef stroganoff used to be a real staple in my kitchen years ago, but I had forgotten all about it. I had some sour cream left over from another recipe recently, so decided to have a go at a lean version of it (I used to use a whole tub of sour cream!). I used to mainly flavour it with paprika, but in this version I tried a couple of slightly different additions, and I think it’s the nicest one I’ve ever made!
Just a little tip for adding in the sour cream at the end, if you gently warm it through before adding it, it prevents it from separating and making a grainy sauce. I have a little tiny saucepan which is perfect for this, or alternatively you could carefully warm it in the microwave.
Can’t get low fat sour cream anywhere in the UK ..can I replace it with low fat yoghurt and lemon juice?
Hi could you do this in a slow cooker xx
I buy reduced fat sour cream in tesco, I have also bought it in Sainsburys and Asda. You could use half-fat creme fraiche instead, but I think that in this case, yoghurt would not taste right.
