I made this tonight! So good! I made some pearled barley and roasted come cauliflower and put this sauce over the top- I added some chopped tomatoes at the end for color- turned out great thank you!
Awesome!
Muy buena la receta, la preparé para acompañar unos filetes de seitán y quedaron muy ricos. Muchas gracias por compartir, me encantan todas tus recetas.
Thanks
Hello, I made this sauce as a base for my vegan stroganoff. Delicious!!! I used to use red wine, years ago, when I made beef stroganoff. Since I’ve become vegan I haven’t made stroganoff. When I saw this sauce with white wine had to give it a shot. Turned out beautifully. Thank you for the inspiration.

thanks
Hi Richa – I made this tonight serving it over roasted cauliflower. We both loved it and I will put it into rotation. It is a great way to get mushrooms into my partner! Thank you so much! Delicious!
awesome!
What a great looking recipe! I love that you give options for how to make “non-dairy cream,” as well as some ideas for how to serve this sauce. I’m looking forward to trying it and will review afterwards.
This is a wonderful recipe. Use whatever skillets you have. And, please, don’t be rude to each other.
Haven’t made this yet, but while I was reading this recipe, I was struck by gratitude that you so often give alternatives for people who have allergies. Thank you, Richa!
Thank you! People come from various dietary situations. I myself appreciate when people I visit or others adjust for me. The simple gestures like food or giving me a seat(i have balance issues) are the ones i always remember.
Excellent recipe – as always. Thank you, Richa. Also so sorry about the discourtesy shown here. I thought that Mark O made an entirely reasonable comment in a very reasonable way. And Richa responded to him in the same polite manner.
There was no reason for Circe to jump down his throat. He was not insufferable at all.
When you say mustard is that mustard spice or the condiments?
the condiment. i’ll update the ingredient
This looks very good, and I can’t wait to try it. So many excellent VR recipes.
I have one quibble though: that is not a correct use of a cast iron skillet. The natural nonstick coating (AKA “Seasoning”) will come off when you use it this way. I know it makes a good-looking photograph, but better to use stainless for this one.
Mark: Richa can use her skillet however she likes and there is nothing wrong with using it for a recipe like this. People like you are bloody insufferable. Go spew your ignorant mansplaining nonsense somewhere else.
Ah. Yes. I will do that. No more Vegan Richa for me. No need to thank me. I’m doing it for my well-being, not yours.
I hope you don’t give that much power to one silly person. There are ride, insecure people all over the Internet. 😀
Didn’t need to respond so rudely Circe. I think he was just trying to be helpful. I know many a cast iron enthusiast that cringe at incorrect cooking techniques in this cookware.
Jeez, it’s not as if she, or someone who would make her recipe, would leave the sauce in it for an extended time, right? A little bit of acidity from the wine isn’t going to damage a well-seasoned cast iron pan. Chill, Circe!
lol
You people are something else.
Hi Mark, you can use any other skillet. I usually transfer the sauce and then wash the skillet with water and then season it. I think tomato based sauces are more corrosive. I use the iron skillet often, so it doesnt seem to be a problem, as the skillet keeps seasoning itself during the frequent searing, cooking.
