I know that stroganoff is often associated with beef. I did have all the best intentions to pick up some beef for dinner one night, but couldn’t resist the lamb mince when I saw it on sale.
The fun bit about winter is making hearty stews and casserole dishes. A good old stroganoff certainly fits the bill. It didn’t take me long to make this version at all, and it did taste better the next day.
Grocery shopping is a funny thing. Often I have a list of things to purchase in preparation for meals next week. I do however, change my mind quite rapidly when I spot good deals or thought of something else when I am walking through the aisle.
Do you have this experience too?
Nevertheless, I’m glad I attempted to use lamb instead of beef. Certainly tasty!!
