STIR in crème fraîche; cook for a further 1 minute or until heated through. Season to taste.

SERVE stroganoff drizzled with extra crème fraîche and sprinkled with extra paprika.

COOKING TIP – We’ve used a slow cooker for this recipe. If preferred, you can cook the stroganoff in a dutch oven or other cast iron casserole dish in a 150ºC oven for 2 hours. Stroganoff goes well with pasta, rice or mashed potato.
