We experimented a bit again with today’s recipe. This time we tried to adjust the beef Stroganoff and make it suitable for vegetarians. And we have to admit that it was a success. We replaced the meat with tempeh and used a plant-based alternative instead of the classic cream. That created a delicious and nutritious dish ideal for lunch or dinner. And can you imagine a fitness recipe without a solid amount of protein? Like us, you can increase the protein content thanks to the protein pasta, which we used as a side dish. Let’s get to this quick recipe together. You will for sure not regret it.
Ingredients:
- 300 ml vegetable broth/water
- 250 g mushrooms
- 170 g tempeh
- 100 ml almond (or any other plant-based) cream
- 100 g pickles
- 2 tbsp tomato puree
- 1 and ½ tbsp ghee
- 1 and ½ tbsp soy sauce
- 1 onion
- 1 tbsp mustard
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Ingredients for the serving:

Directions:
Cut tempeh into small pieces and soak in soy sauce. Then heat a pan, add ½ tbsp of ghee and sauté the tempeh until golden. Once you’re done, put it aside in a bowl. Add the remaining 1 tbsp of ghee to the same pan, heat and sauté the finely chopped onion. Sauté until golden, and then add the thinly sliced mushrooms. Stirring occasionally, simmer for about 5 minutes. Then add finely chopped pickles, tempeh and tomato purée and let everything warm up for a while.
Add vegetable broth or water to the mixture as well. Put the lid on the pan and simmer together for about 10 minutes on low heat. Finally, add plant-based cream and mustard to the mixture and season with salt and black pepper. You can also add any other of your favourite spices. Finally, let Stroganoff simmer for a while, and you are ready to serve. We have chosen legume pasta for a side dish, which will increase the protein content even more.

If you are not a fan of protein pasta, you can use rice, quinoa, classic pasta, ZERO noodles or even potatoes. And, of course, if you add fresh parsley on top to make the whole dish even more tempting.
