Vegan bourguignon


 Nice hearty vegan bourguignon

I found this here: https://www.veganricha.com/vegan-mushroom-bourguignon-instant-pot/

I just did mine on the stovetop. The recipe called for serving it on mashed potatoes and cauliflower. I used red potatoes (peeled) and sweet potatoes combined which was very tasty and filling. Pictured above is before placing it on the potatoes. I used Malbec for the wine.

Go to link for instant pot directions. 

The Ingredients:

Mushroom Bourguignon:

  • 2 tsp oil
  • 1/2 (0.5 ) medium onion chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic finely chopped
  • 10 oz (8 oz) sliced mushrooms mixed or white or cremini ( I used some canned ones)
  • 1/4 cup (58.75 ml) brandy or whiskey or red wine or use broth ( Malbec was great)
  • 3/4 cup (75 g) chopped carrots
  • 1 cup (101 g) chopped celery
  • 3/4 tsp (0.75 tsp) dried thyme or 1 tbsp fresh
  • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce ,tamari for gluten-free, coconut aminos for soyfree
  • 2 tsp tomato paste (I used marinara)
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) water or broth
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot starch mixed in 3 tbsp water (you can also add 2 tbsp of the mashed potato mixture to thicken) (I omitted)
  • 1-3 cups fresh spinach 
  • Potato Mash:

    • 1 large potato cubed small
    • 1 cup (100 g) cauliflower florets (heaping cup)
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 2 to 4 tbsp non dairy milk
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) each salt garlic powder
    •  black pepper to taste
    • Note: I just used sweet potatoes and red potatoes mashed
    This makes 3 servings if you use enough potatoes— I used more than the recipe called for.
