Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon Easy Recipe

If you’re not sure how to pronounce the last word of this recipe name, you’re not alone. I had to learn as well when I first came across it. I guessed at how to pronounce it and got nowhere close to the correct pronunciation. Since I like to be helpful in more ways than one, it’s pronounced “borg-in-yon” in America and the more classic French pronunciation is “bore-ghee-yone.”

Now that you know how to pronounce the crazy word, let me tell you what it is. This word and style of cooking specifically comes from the area of France called “Bourgogne.” This name directly translates into “burgundy.” Bourguignon sauce is popularly a dark brown but can appear burgundy due to the red wine used to make it. This recipe is popularly made as beef bourguignon, which is a stew-like dish, but it’s easy to mimic the beef flavors and make a vegan beef bourguignon instead or my version, of course.

Wholesome Ingredients

This vegan mushroom bourguignon is chock-full of healthy ingredients. Also, since I’m all about healthy and plant-based foods, but not all about lacking flavor, there are plenty of flavorful ingredients. Smoked paprika gives it a kick, while garlic, onion powder, and fresh thyme ensure that the taste of this dish is unforgettable.

The Main Ingredients Are:

Mushrooms – Used in place of meat and prepared to be a highlight of flavor within the dish. Vegetable Broth – Used in place of beef broth to give that classic bourguignon flavor while maintaining the cruelty-free aspect. Peas – The addition of multiple vegetables gives an array of flavor points within the dish and only makes it more nutrient-dense and protein-rich. Plant-Based Milk – Perfect for making a dish creamy without worrying about dairy.
