Drain and rinse the cashews, then add all the ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth. Add a little more water if the mixture is gritty.
How to make vegan stroganoff
Heat a large skillet or large saucepan to medium heat. Then add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes to soften them. Stir them frequently.
Stir in the garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Add the soy sauce and the mushrooms. Cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and soften.
Add ½ a cup of vegan sour cream, 1 cup of aquafaba, and 1 ½ cups of vegetable broth. Lower the heat and simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring often.
Mix in the chickpeas and lemon juice. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes.
Taste and add more lemon juice or salt and pepper if desired.
- Prep time includes making sour cream. For more options, see my recipe for cashew sour cream or make nut-free sunflower seed sour cream.
- Store chickpea and mushroom stroganoff in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days, separate from cooked rice or noodles.
- Chickpeas and mushrooms freeze well for up to 3 months. Cool it to room temperature and store it in a freezer-friendly container or bag.
- If the sauce is too thin after adding the chickpeas, let it simmer for another 5 minutes. If it's still too thin, mix a teaspoon with a little broth or aquafaba and stir it into the sauce.
