VEGAN MUSHROOM BOURGUIGNON WITH POTATO CAULIFLOWER MASH
Bourguignon is a French recipe traditionally made with beef and it’s called Beef bourguignon or boeuf bourguignon. However, in order to make this recipe vegan I replaced the red meat (beef) with mushrooms. They are a great alternative to meat thanks to their flavor and texture. Furthermore, you can use a great variety of mushrooms for this recipe and you can combine them too; such as cremini, Portobello mushrooms cap, porcini, shitake, or even canned cooked mushrooms.
In fact, this delicious and comforting vegan mushroom bourguignon with potato cauliflower mash is great for vegan cooking. This warm and filling recipe is ideal for a main dish at Christmas dinner, Thanksgiving, or a lovely Sunday meal. Furthermore, this recipe proves that you can make a plant-based meal full of flavor, nutritious and healthy too.
SEASONING FOR BOURGUIGNON
One of the main seasoning ingredients for this recipe is fresh thyme; however, I’m not a big fan of this herb and I use it from time to time. Therefore, is not included in this recipe but I added it to the following seasoning list. This is because, as I did when I replaced the meat, you can adjust the seasoning to your liking.
- Fresh herbs; such as fresh thyme, fresh parsley, and chopped chives.
- Black pepper/white pepper (freshly ground).
- Smoked paprika.
- Onion powder.

Instructions

- Peel and dice the garlic cloves and add them to the pot. Stir well.
- Then, add 80 gr. of frozen peas and 150 gr of diced mushrooms.
- Pour 50 ml. of Vegan red wine*, 1 Tsp. of soy sauce**, 1 tbsp. of tomato paste, and 200 ml. of vegetable broth. Stir well and then keep stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl add 2 tsp. of corn-starch, 2 tbsp. of water, and mix well. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the pot, bring to a boil to thicken, and stir well.
- If you want a more fluid consistency of your vegan mushroom bourguignon, then add more vegetable stock you can adapt this depending on the preferred consistency you want to get.
- Season to taste with: paprika, parsley, garlic powder, and Himalayan salts. Stir well and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Cook your vegan mushroom bourguignon until you get a rich mushroom mixture and the vegetables are cooked.
POTATO CAULIFLOWER MASH
- Peel and cut the potatoes into cubes. Then clean and remove any cauliflower leaves and cut them into cubes too.
- Place the cubed potato and the cubed cauliflower in a steamer basket. Steam them for around 25 minutes. If you want to speed up this you can also use a pressure cooker. Bear in mind that pressure cook time should be less than steaming the potatoes and cauliflower. Make sure you follow the instructions for the pressure cooking you are using.
- Once the potatoes and cauliflower are soft and tender transfer the steamed potato and cauliflower to a bowl and coarsely mash them and make a mash roughly.
- Add the non-dairy milk and keep mixing until you get a mashed potato mixture.
- Season to taste with salt and ground nutmeg.
