Instructions
- Sauté Mushrooms: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, then add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 10 minutes, until browned and softened. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and set aside.
- Cook Vegetables: Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pot, then add the carrots and diced onions. Sauté for 5 minutes until slightly tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add Liquids and Seasonings: Pour in the red wine and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Add the tomato paste, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Simmer the Stew: Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and water until smooth. Slowly stir this mixture into the pot to thicken the sauce.
- Combine and Final Simmer: Return the sautéed mushrooms to the pot, cover, and simmer for 15 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the stew is thick and flavors are fully developed.
- Serve: Prepare mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta as desired. Spoon the Mushroom Bourguignon generously over the base for a hearty meal. Enjoy!
Notes
- Nutritional info does not include mashed potatoes; it covers only the mushroom bourguignon.
- Substitute cremini mushrooms with portabello or porcini for different flavors.
- For a gluten-free version, replace all-purpose flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour mix.
- To make oil-free, omit olive oil as mushrooms release enough moisture during cooking.
