What is mushroom bourguignon?

Mushroom bourguignon (pronounced “bor-geen-yon”) is a vegan take on the French boeuf bourguignon recipe. The beef in the original recipe is replaced with mushrooms and then cooked in a rich stew made from red wine, vegetable broth, veggies, herbs, and seasonings.

The finished mushroom bourguignon is served over a bed of mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta noodles. It’s a rich stew that’s best enjoyed on a cold day!

How to make mushroom bourguignon

To get started, cook the mushrooms in a large pot until they’re browned.

Transfer the cooked mushrooms to a plate and sauté the carrots, onions, and garlic in the same pot.

Stir in the red wine and broth. Make sure the scrape the bottom of the pan to release any stuck bits of veggies (these contain amazing flavors). Next, add the tomato paste and herbs, and bring the stew up to a simmer.

Cooking vegetable broth, vegetables, and herbs in a large pot

Make a slurry by stirring the flour and water in a small bowl, then stir it into the pot to thicken the stew. Add the cooked mushrooms and simmer for another 15 minutes.

Divide a batch of mashed potatoes into bowls and ladle the mushroom bourguignon overtop.

Serving suggestions

The finishing piece of any delicious mushroom bourguignon is the creamy bed of mashed potatoes. Add an extra drizzle of melted butter on top with herbs and cracked pepper to really bump up the flavor.

If you’d rather not use mashed potatoes, go ahead and replace them with rice, cauliflower rice, polenta, or cooked pasta instead. Don’t forget the dinner rolls on the side!
