- Kristen's Beef Stroganoff recipe

Kristen's recipe requires a dairy-free sour cream, so here's the recipe for that:

Dairy-free Sour Cream
2/3 cup avocado oil
1 egg (preferably pasture-raised)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon garlic, minced (approximately 1 clove)
¾ teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
¼ teaspoon nutritional yeast

Place the avocado oil, egg, lemon juice, mustard powder, garlic and salt in a tall container (I use a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup). Place an immersion blender at the bottom and turn on. Once the mixture starts to blend together and become thick, move the immersion blender towards the top, until it is well blended. This should take less than a minute! Add the lime juice and nutritional yeast and blend once more. Enjoy!
