    The classic beef bourguignon gets a vegetarian makeover with this delicious mushroom bourguignon recipe! A delicious and hearty winter vegan dish.

    Mushroom Bourguignon - The classic beef bourguignon gets a vegetarian makeover with this delicious mushroom bourguignon recipe! A delicious and hearty winter vegan dish.

    One of my favourite things to do is to take a traditional meat based recipe and put a vegetarian spin on it.

    So today I'm excited to share my latest meat classic with a vegetarian makeover - Mushroom Bourguignon. This fun twist on the classic Beef Bourguignon is vegan and vegetarian-friendly and perfect for the upcoming holiday season.

    Not being a lover of tofu, nor any fake meat substitute for that matter, when I want to take a meat recipe and make it vegetarian I turn to mushrooms. Mushrooms are packed with umami and provide a lovely succulent juiciness that works so well in place of meat.

    For this recipe, I took some wonderfully large and meaty portobello mushrooms and chopped them into large pieces. Portobello mushrooms have a lovely thick texture, that becomes soft and succulent when cooked. Especially when stewed.

    Combined with sweet carrots, golden shallots, zucchini and button mushrooms this mushroom bourguignon makes a wonderful meal that is so packed with flavour that even meat eaters will enjoy it too.

    A word of advice, use a wine that you would happily drink. Please don't use a wine you don't like to drink in to make this mushroom bourguignon as the results will be disappointing. If the wine isn't good enough to drink, just imagine how horrible a meal made with it will be!

    As far as the wine goes my pick is a lovely pinot noir. Taste it first before using it. You want one that is smooth without being too full bodied.

    As with the wine, using a good quality vegetable stock is important in your mushroom bourguignon. Steer clear of stock cubes, which I find overly salty and fake tasting. Homemade is my first choice (check out my recipe for making your own vegetable stock) otherwise, pick a good quality stock liquid from the supermarket.

    Serve this delicious wintery Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon with creamy mashed potatoes or crusty bread for a hearty winter meal, or lighten it up with steamed greens or a simple salad.

    Ingredients

    • 4 tbs olive oil
    • 4 to 5 very large portobello mushrooms stalks removed and cut into bit size chunks
    • 10 shallots peeled
    • 300 g of button mushrooms quartered (10 ½ oz)
    • 6 large carrots peeled and roughly chopped
    • 3 cloves garlic peeled
    • 2 stalks celery
    • 2 zucchini roughly chopped
    • 6 sprigs thyme
    • 3 bay leaves
    • 1 bottle red wine
    • 1 cup vegetable stock
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • ⅓ cup flour

    Instructions

    • Place a very large saucepan or crockpot over a low heat and add 2 tbs of the olive oil and add the shallots and fry until lightly golden, around 15 minutes. Add the carrots, garlic and celery and increase the heat to medium and cook until the carrots are golden. Remove from the saucepan and set aside.
    • Place the flour in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Toss the portobello mushrooms in the flour. Add 2 tbs of olive oil to the saucepan and increase the heat to medium high and brown the mushrooms. You may need to do this in two batches depending on the size of your pan. When all the portobello mushrooms are browned reduce the heat to medium and add the wine, vegetable stock, bay leaves and thyme and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer covered for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    • Add the vegetables to the pan, along with the zucchini and button mushrooms and simmer for 30 minutes.
    • Serve with mashed potatoes and/or crusty bread.

      This was extraordinary. My husband and two little girls (6 and 3) asked if this can be on our menu every two weeks or more. This is huge since I am an exploring cook that rarely makes the same thing twice within a month, or even two months. Huge hit! I did heed the advice of another and reduced the wine a bit and added more stock. I eyeballed it, but I would say maybe 3 cups of wine and two cups of broth. I had mine over leftover polenta, and my meat eaters had filet. Thank you so much for the lovely recipe!

      I feel like I am being hijacked when a pop up comes up and won't go away unless I sign up for Hotjar which I really don't want. This adversely impacts my opinion of your blog, which I'd like to like. too bad.

        I'm sorry you felt frustrated with the the Hotjar poll box. I installed this to find out more about what types of recipes my readers are after so I can serve them better by sharing the recipes they want. You should have been able to simply minimise the box and ignore it, however, this was obviously not the case for you. I've now disabled Hotjar and I hope you will consider coming back, but if not I understand 🙂

      Just tried this recipe for my french fiance for our Christmas lunch and it was really divine. I was so happy when I found it as Boeuf bourguignon is the favorite dish of my fiance who just became vegetarian a couple of months ago. I guess his favorite dish has changed now. 😉

      Very good. I would only do 2 cups wine at most and up the broth. Little too winey for me. Yummy on baked potato.

      I adore boeuf bourguignon and usually add lots of mushrooms because I love how they soak up some of that wonderful wine-y sauce. A mushroom bourguignon sounds just as a delicious - I will definitely give this a try!
