2. Add the cornichons, the stalks of the fresh parsley, the capers, mustard and paprika then stir together. Add the wine and stock, stir and then leave the pan to come to a simmer. Reduce the heat slightly and allow the liquid to reduce by about half (roughly 10 minutes).

3. Once the liquid has reduced, season to taste with the salt and black pepper then turn the heat to low and add the vegan double cream. Stir to combine and allow to heat through but don't let it boil. Remove from the heat when the dish is warmed through and add the juice of half a lemon.

Notes

- You can really be creative when you're selecting your mushrooms. If you want to keep it classic (like me!) stick to closed cup, brown or button mushrooms. The larger ones should be halved but it's great to have a couple of little whole guys in there too.

- I love adding cornichons and capers to my stroganoff. It not only adds a little crunch but the tang is wonderful for cutting through that earthiness of the mushrooms and the creaminess of the final dish. If you're not a fan of tangy, feel free to leave these out, but I promise you'll be pleasantly surprised if you choose to give them a go.
