Stroganoff is a staple of Russian cuisine, likely invented by a French chef working for a noble family in St Petersburg back in the 1800s. This version swaps the beef for halloumi, which maintains the chewy texture, adds some extra saltiness and combines well with the rest of the classic ingredients.
The best side dish combinations with this hearty stew are those of a more neutral nature which balance the complexity of the stroganoff. Rice, egg noodles, a rustic bread and mashed potatoes are tried and tested accompaniments that will satisfy most tastes. As for toppings, crunchy thinly sliced spring onions, grated Parmesan cheese or sour cream are among the best options.
Stroganoff is a filling dish that can be made in large batches, so it’s an ideal choice for a family dinner. If you need something rich, satisfying and relatively simple to deliver the goods on a rainy Sunday evening then this is the meal for you.
