In my dream scenario, it is a cold Friday evening, and I have just come in from a brisk walk. Meanwhile, my husband, Mitch, is cooking up a big batch of this mushroom bourguignon in the kitchen, accompanied by a bottle of fine red wine. The air is rich with the savory scent of aromatic veggies.

This recipe certainly makes a dreamy date-night dinner, especially during the colder months. Mushrooms, carrots, and shallots are simmered in a bold broth sauce with bay leaves and thyme and served over creamy mashed potatoes. It is a soulful and indulgent meal to toast a hard week's work and the relaxing weekend ahead.

Mushroom Bourguignon

Vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, refined-sugar-free

Serves 6-8

Ingredients

Bourguignon

  • 12 shallots
  • 6 tablespoons vegan butter, divided
  • 1 pound (450 g) cremini mushrooms, roughly chopped
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup dry full-bodied red wine
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1½ tablespoons gluten-free tamari
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme, tied together with twine, more for garnish
  • 2 bay leaves

Mashed potatoes

  • 3 pounds (1.35 kg) white potatoes, cut into chunks
  • ½ cup vegan butter
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ to ½ cup plain coconut yogurt
  • ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Make the Bourguignon: In a small bowl, cover the shallots with boiling water and let soak for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse. (This makes them easier to peel.) Peel the skin off the shallots and discard. Cut small shallots in half lengthwise and bigger shallots into quarters.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegan butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add half of the mushrooms, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a medium bowl.
  3. Repeat with another 2 tablespoons of the vegan butter and the remaining mushrooms. Transfer the mushrooms to the bowl with the first batch of mushrooms.
  4. In the same pot over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons vegan butter. Add the shallots, carrots, garlic, and salt. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables start to soften, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and flour and stir to incorporate. Pour in the red wine, vegetable broth, tamari, and maple syrup. Then add the mushrooms. Stir to combine.
