Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the Onions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the finely sliced onions to the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and golden brown.
Step 2: Cook the Pork and Mushrooms
- Add the pork strips to the pan with the onions. Increase the heat to high and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the pork is nicely browned.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook for another 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the smoked paprika and stir well. Cook for an additional minute to release the paprika’s flavor.
Step 3: Create the Sauce
- Stir in the tomato purée until well combined with the pork and mushrooms.
- Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Step 4: Finish and Serve
- Stir in the soured cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the pork and mushroom mixture over your choice of egg noodles, tagliatelle, or rice.
- For an extra touch, you can add a dollop of soured cream on top.
FAQs
Can I substitute the soured cream with something else?
If you don’t have soured cream, you can substitute it with plain Greek yogurt or crème fraîche for a similar creamy texture. Just be sure to add it off the heat to prevent curdling.
How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
You can swap the soured cream for a dairy-free alternative, like coconut cream or a plant-based sour cream substitute. Be aware that this may slightly change the flavor.

hey sandra, i was wondering if i wanna make the sauce thicker, what should i add? never really got the hang of sauces lol
Hey Liza-98, try adding a teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved in water. It should do the trick!
just use heavy cream instead of all these substitutes, makes life easier 🙄
So happy to see the dairy-free substitutes! Coconut cream sounds like a great idea, can’t wait to try this out.
if i add chocolate instead of mushrooms, does it become dessert? asking for a friend lol
Not sure if Greek yogurt’s tangy flavor would work here sounds a bit off to me anyone else tried it?
I’ve tried it before and it was amazing, gives a nice tangy kick!
Looks simple enough, hope the kids will like it. Might skip the mushrooms though.
