Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon

Ingredients:

• 400g mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster), roughly sliced
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1 cup dry red wine (a light Burgundy Pinot Noir works well)
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
2. Add the diced carrots and celery and cook for another 5 minutes until slightly tender.
3. Stir in the mixed mushrooms and dried thyme, and cook for about 8 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
4. Mix in the tomato paste, then pour in the red wine and vegetable broth. Add the bay leaf, season with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Allow the stew to simmer gently for 20–25 minutes until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove the bay leaf.
6. Adjust seasoning if needed, and stir in fresh chopped parsley just before serving.
7. Plate the mushroom bourguignon and enjoy it alongside a chilled glass of Camille Giroud Volnay 2021 for a harmonious, terroir-driven pairing.
