Mushroom Strogonoff with Garlic Chives

Although the sun has been peeking out, its been quite chilly today.

I made one of my quick suppers - Mushroom Strogonoff  - its featured on my blog before, but in place of double cream I used soured cream.  I also had some garlic chives that I picked up last weekend from a farmers market that I frequent every fortnight now.  So I decided to mince some of these down to put into the strogonoff and I kept some stems back for garnish.  

The garlic chives were new to me.  They were certainly garlicky in taste.  I found the some of the stems a tad tough sticking a little to my throat as I swallowed, so I would recommend mincing them. 

You can serve the mushroom strogonoff over bulgar wheat or pasta if you wish, but my preference is steamed or boiled Basmati rice.

Chive Friday
