How to Make Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon
Sauté Vegetables
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft and lightly golden. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Cook Mushrooms & Carrots
- Add mushrooms and carrots. Cook for 6–8 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and begin to brown slightly.
Build the Sauce
- Stir in tomato paste and flour, coating the vegetables evenly. Cook for 1 minute to remove raw flour taste.
- Pour in vegetable broth, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
Simmer
- Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and vegetables become tender.
- Remove bay leaf before serving.
Serve
Spoon the rich mushroom bourguignon generously over mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley as shown in the image.
