Cook’s notes

Lactose-free milk thickened with cornflour freezes better than soured cream.
Add a spoon of lactose-free yoghurt or crème fraîche when serving.
Chicken breast works too.

Paprika Pork Stroganoff questions

Can I use pork tenderloin?

Pork tenderloin works well and is just as lean. Cut it into the same thin strips and brown it quickly so it doesn't toughen.

Why mix the cornflour into the milk?

Cornflour lumps if it goes straight into hot liquid. Stirred into the cold milk first, it thickens the sauce smoothly and helps stop the milk splitting as it simmers.

Can I use a plant-based milk?

Unsweetened oat or soya milk works in place of the lactose-free milk and makes the dish dairy-free. Avoid sweetened or vanilla versions, which would clash with the paprika.
