Stroganoff is a Russian dish that is traditionally made of cooked beef served with a delicious sauce made with sour cream, Worcestershire sauce and many more savory ingredients, often tossed in noodles.  Growing up we created our own version of this sauce that is dairy-free and so delicious.  I love my stroganoff sauce served over grilled portobello mushrooms and tossed with quinoa and a little grated goat Gouda on top.  If you want to try something different that is easy to…
