Mushroom Bourguignon

Mushroom Bourguignon is a rich, hearty vegan twist on the classic French dish, made with tender mushrooms and a medley of vegetables simmered in a robust red wine sauce. Perfect for a cozy dinner, it brings the flavors of France right to your BBQ grill.

Ingredients

• Mushrooms (cremini or button) - 300 grams, sliced
• Carrots - 1 medium, sliced
• Onion - 1 medium, diced
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Vegetable broth - 250 ml
• Dry red wine - 150 ml
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Tomato paste - 1 tablespoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Thyme (fresh or dried) - 1 teaspoon
• Bay leaf - 1
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon (optional, for thickening)
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic and sliced carrots to the skillet, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the carrots begin to soften.
3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 7-10 minutes until they are browned and have released their moisture.
4. Pour in the red wine and allow it to simmer for 5 minutes, letting the alcohol evaporate slightly.
5. Add the vegetable broth, soy sauce, tomato paste, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
7. If a thicker sauce is desired, mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry, then stir it into the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
8. Remove the bay leaf before serving, and garnish with fresh parsley.
