Mushroom Bourguignon recipe

The classic beef bourguignon gets a vegetarian make over!

📝 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 1/2 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
• 1/3 cup flour

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place 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.
2. 2Place 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.
3. 3Add the vegetables to the pan, along with the zucchini and button mushrooms and simmer for 30 minutes.
4. 4Serve with mashed potatoes and/or crusty bread.
