The Stroganoff is a recipe of veal cut into cubes or strips (as I prefer it), and accompanied with mushrooms, onions and a rich sauce that is made with cream or sour cream, and served over rice or, like me I have done, over pasta.

What most surprised me is to discover where the name comes from. I always thought it would be the name of the chef who invented it, but no. The name comes from the count Pável Aleksándrovich Stróganov.

In the 19th century, of convened a cooking competition in Petersburgo that presented the chefs of the nobility of the city. The chef of the count Strógavov won the contest with this recipe that would become very popular in all Russia.

At home we love and my especially because it is a recipe that perfectly supports the freezing and can be prepared in large quantities.

I have to tell you that House never prepares too because all come to the smell of sardines, my brother, so seldom I get to freeze something.
