left over sour cream

[beattie819]

I have two cartons of sour cream left over. Any bright ideas what i can use them for. Not dips or anything with peppers or curry. I have a fussy /allergic family. Many thanks :)

There's a metric sh*tload of sour cream recipes here ... just ignore the 'dip' ones, lol http://homecooking.ab...chive/blsourcream.htm

We use it for cooling down chilli con carnes, or spreading on fajitas. However I made this last night and it was lovely!

Chicken and mushroom Stroganoff

* 4 chicken skinless fillets cut into strips
* 1 knob of butter
* 2tsp oil
* 1 small onion, finely sliced
* 150g (5oz) mushrooms, sliced
* 75ml (0.15pt) white wine
* 75ml (0.15pt) chicken stock
* 1tsp whole grain mustard
* 150ml (0.3pt) soured cream
* Bunch of fresh parsley or thyme, chopped
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper
* Paprika
* Cooked noodles or rice (approx 75g per person)

Method

1. Coat the chicken in paprika
2. Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan. Cook the onion for 3 - 4 mins until soft and beginning to colour. Add the chicken and cook for 5 - 7 mins until golden brown.
3. Add the mushrooms; cook until soft and most of the liquid has simmered off.
4. Add the wine and boil for 5 mins to reduce by half. Then add the stock, mustard and soured cream and bring to the boil. Season and add the parsley.
5. Serve immediately over noodles or rice.

Hi beattie,

When ever we have left over sour cream we use it to add to mash potato, although we normally have sour cream and chive. Might be the same! :-)
