🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free needs, swap the sour cream and Parmesan for plant-based alternatives or skip the cheese and finish with more herbs. To suit onion- or garlic-free diets, replace the shallot and garlic with mild herb seasoning and a little extra balsamic for depth.
What to serve with it
Serve with a simple green salad, garlicky broccoli, or roasted tomatoes to keep the meal light and bright. A crusty gluten-free loaf or extra lemony greens also works well with the rich mushroom sauce and crisp polenta.
