Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon
  1. Soak the dried mushrooms in warm water for 15-20 minutes until they become tender, then drain and set aside. If using fresh mushrooms, skip the soaking step and slice them into thick pieces.
  2. Peel and chop the potatoes into even chunks, place them into a pot of salted water, bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes or until fork-tender.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat before adding the chopped onion. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent, then add drained mushrooms and the other vegetables and spices.
  4. Pour the red wine into the pan and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in tamari and vegetable broth, covering the pan, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
  5. Whisk together plant-based milk and cornstarch until smooth, add to the skillet, stirring gently over low heat until sauce thickens.
  6. Serve the Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon over creamy mashed potatoes, garnish with fresh thyme and enjoy.
