When my grandmother passed a few years ago I was handed a large box of recipes. I go through these recipes about twice a year and I am always amazed that I seem to find a recipe that sneaks to the top of the pile.
How could I have missed this recipe for creamed mushrooms?
The mushrooms were simply delicious and yet had this gourmet flair that could not be denied. 
I hope you enjoy this recipe find from my grandmothers box of treasure.
PrintCreamed Mushrooms
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 2 servings 1x
Description
A creamy and flavorful side dish featuring sautéed mushrooms in a rich sour cream, paprika, and lemon zest sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 cups sliced baby Portabella mushrooms
- 1/3 cup (50g) diced red onion
- 1 stick (1/2 cup, 120g) butter
- 1/2-1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- In a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the diced red onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and stir well. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms reduce in size and start to wilt.
- Stir in the lemon zest, paprika, and dried parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the sour cream, stirring until the mixture is well combined and heated through. Do not let it boil.
- Serve immediately as a side dish, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use a mix of mushroom varieties. This dish pairs well with roasted meats or as part of a vegetarian meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently over low heat to avoid curdling the sour cream.
