London Chic: Lapsang-Scented Mushroom Stroganoff

• 2 pounds mixed mushrooms (such as ceps, cremino and meadow mushrooms), trimmed
• Light cooking oil (such as canola, peanut or sunflower)
• 2 lapsang souchong tea bags
• 2 1/2 cups boiling water
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 onions, finely sliced
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons corn flour
• 1 3/4 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 bunch of dill leaves, chopped
• Salt and pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 375F.
2. Cut the mushrooms into even, bite-size pieces.
3. Drizzle a little oil into a roasting pan, add the mushrooms, and toss together thoroughly to coat.
4. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender but have not yet begun to shrivel.
5. Set aside.
6. Put the lapsang souchong tea bags into a bowl, cover with the boiling water, and let stand to infuse for 4 minutes.
7. Remove and discard the tea bags and set the tea aside.
8. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, add the onions, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until soft.
9. Add the garlic and paprika and fry for another 2 to 3 minutes.
10. Then add the corn flour and stir together well.
11. Pour in the tea and heavy cream and stir in the mushrooms, mustard, and tomato paste.
12. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has begun to reduce and thicken slightly.
13. Add the sour cream and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the stroganoff is thick and creamy.
14. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
15. Divide between serving plates, scatter with the chopped dill, and serve.
