Vegan Mushroom Walnut Bourguignon.. What could be better on a cold winter night?

It doesn’t exactly get cold here in Los Angeles but it did dip down to 40F the other night and let me tell you, I was freeeeeeeezing. Cue Netflix, comfy socks, and a hearty stew that’s easy to make (with wine in it!)

I’m kind of a sucker for any dish with wine it in. A splash for the meal, a couple a sips, another splash for the meal, a few more sips. You get the idea. Cooking with wine is FUN! (Also very tasty!)

Vegan mushroom bourguignon is hearty, satisfying, and soooo flavorful. I’ve been obsessed with this dish since the first time I tried it. Despite not being able to actually pronounce the name, I set out to create my own version. I added mushrooms for extra crunch and meatiness and more red wine than it typically calls for, because YUM.

I paired the vegan mushroom walnut bourguignon with a bowl of fluffy cauliflower mashed potatoes to keep it light, yet satisfying.

The best part? The whole meal comes together in just 30 minutes making it the perfect dish to serve for dinner parties. You’ll have plenty of time to spend with guests and won’t have to slave away in the kitchen all day!

Bourguignon is traditionally made with beef, but this vegan mushroom walnut bourguignon is so much better! For starters, it doesn’t take hours to braise. Who has time for that? It’s also better for your health, the environment, and of course, the cows

Plus the mushrooms and walnuts are so meaty and satisfying, this dish definitely doesn’t sacrifice flavor. I’m a huge fan of using mushrooms as a “meat” replacement. I also use mushrooms in our Vegan Zucchini Lasagna, Vegan Baja Fish Tacos, and Vegan Portobello Lentil Shepherd’s Pie!
