Notes

  • Cook's Tip #1:  Chop the sausage evenly for easier handling and serving of korvstroganoff.
  • Cook's Tip #2:  If you are pressed for time, add the sausage simultaneously as the onions. That's how some people prepare it. Just note that the onions will not be as soft as when you cook them first.
  • Cook's Tip #3:  Do not add the cream all at once. It's better to check and add a bit more if you decide you want more sauce.
  • Variation #1:  Heavy cream. You can use double cream instead of light cream if you want your korvstroganoff to be extremely creamy. 
  • Variation #2:  Skip the mustard. If you are not a fan, it's ok not to add any mustard.  But you can also vary the type of mustard to use --- depending on your preference.
  • Variation #3:  Baloney. An excellent alternative to falukorv when making this sausage stroganoff.
