My own recipe uses parsnips, leeks and mushrooms. Slice parsnips into rounds and start frying them in a little oil; wash and slice leeks, by which time the parsnips should be going a nice colour, Add leeks to pan, then mushrooms sliced as you like them. When cooked, add a big dollop of sour cream and serve with a sprinkle of paprika.
Wholewheat noodles go well with this, as do buckwheat blinis; some watercress goes just right with it, plain not dressed.
I used to do it with smetana. Way back then you couldn't get fancy mushrooms – now we're blessed with lots of different varieties.
Enjoy!
