@Suzanne rose did I ever post that Mushroom Stroganoff Recipe back in my early days on SDC? There are so many variations. Beef, chicken, inclusion of other vegetables other than mushrooms and onion. I know your dislike for mushrooms but the base recipe is soooo rich!

Will do in the next few days. Do you like capsicum? That's a worthy replacement or even, in my case, an addition to mushrooms. In my posted Mongolian Lamb recipe, I included both mushrooms and capsicum as optional extras.

whatever, if you are doing one for Suzanne Rose, then I'm sure that one will be fine as she dislikes mushies as well. Over to you Mon CHEF.

It's for everyone!! Fine tune my recipes at your pleasure but don't wander too much from the road well travelled. I hold no responsibility for recipe changes that bear little resemblance to the one I posted.

 

[Suzy Q]

I’m really looking forward to trying this recipe, will pass it on to my daughter too

You should post it. I hate mushrooms but I cook them for my family. With so many things I make my daughter will say ' you know mushrooms would go so well in this.
That's ok because I don't eat most things I make.
I live on tuna salad or salad rolls

I'm looking forward to you posting your recipe.

My daughter made this and loved it , she also said it was so easy

Am going to give this recipe a try tomorrow. My mother-in-law used to make a nice boiled fruit cake, but I've misplaced the recipe
It sounded similar but without the ginger beer, but I'm going to try this one, I love ginger beer.
Thank you,
