Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Cutting board
  • Chef's knife
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Serving dishes or bowls

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

  • 1 pound mushrooms sliced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cups red wine
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon thyme leaves

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

  • After 30 minutes, remove the lid and continue cooking for another 15 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

Use a mix of different mushrooms like cremini, shiitake, and portobello for a more complex and varied flavor.
For a deeper flavor, let the Vegetarian Mushroom Bourguignon simmer on low heat for a longer period, allowing the ingredients to meld together.
Make a double batch of the recipe and freeze half for future quick and convenient meals.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with a little water and stir it into the dish during the last few minutes of cooking.
