This Easy Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon uses mushrooms and veggies, it has loads of flavour and it’s made in 1 Pot. This flavoursome Easy Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon is topped on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes with cauliflower.
If you are into French cuisine, you will know that a beef bourguignon is a classic. Furthermore, if you have been cooking vegan for a while, you will know that mushrooms make a great meat substitute.
Hence the reason why mushrooms were used to replace the beef in this vegan version of a French classic – Bourguignon.
Beef Bourguignon takes a long time to cook, it’s stewed until the beef is tender, however, because we are not cooking with beef, the cooking process is a lot quicker = happy cook!
I love comfort food like this – creamy mash, rich stewed mushrooms = happiness!

Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes and cauliflower, then steam them or boil them. Drain them and leave them aside.
- If using an instant pot:
- Heat the Instant Pot on Saute. Add oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, mushrooms and a good pinch of salt and give them a quick mix. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until golden on some edges. Add a tbsp of water if browning too quickly.
- Add the wine and mix well for a few seconds to cook out the alcohol.
- Add the carrots, celery, thyme, and garlic and mix well. Add the soy sauce, tomato paste, 1/3 tsp salt (if using water or unsalted broth) and water/broth and give it a mix. Cancel saute. You can also add in 1 bay leaf and some rosemary for flavor variation at this point.
- Close the Instant Pot lid. Pressure Cook for 9 to 10 minutes (Manual hi pressure). Add a minute if using larger quantity of either mushroom mix or potatoes, or if doubling.
- Let the pressure release naturally once the cooking is complete. Open the lid and carefully remove the steamer basket.
- Put the pot on saute, Add cornstarch slurry and give it a mix (you can also add 2 tbsp of the mashed potato mixture to thicken). Add spinach or baby kale and black pepper and mix. Bring the mixture to a boil to thicken, then cancel saute. Taste and adjust salt and flavor.
- To make it on the stove on a saucepan, follow the same method, but simply cover the saucepan with a lid and cook until the veggies are soft.
- Meanwhile. Transfer the steamed potato and cauliflower to a bowl and mash roughly. Add garlic powder, salt, pepper, olive oil, non-dairy milk, and optionally fresh/dried herbs of choice(eg. thyme, rosemary, chives) and mash well to preferred consistency.
- Serve the mash layered with the mushroom bourguignon. Garnish with some fresh thyme or basil and black or white pepper.
