Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon served over Potato Cauliflower Mash. All Cooked in an Instant Pot together with PIP (pot in pot). Vegan Gluten-free Nut-free Recipe, can be Soy-free Jump to Recipe
One, This is how one should be introduced to mushrooms(so smooth, so delicious!). Two, for some reason I mess up the spelling of bourguignon. Twice I thought I had misplaced the photos and the written recipe post, as search wouldn’t work. Well it didn’t because it was not the correct spelling!
Anywho, this Vegan Bourguignon uses mushrooms and veggies, loads of flavor addition, and 1 Pot. I also steam the potato and cauliflower while the mushrooms cook, Pot in Pot Cooking. It saves time and pots. Mash the steamed veggies, add herbs of choice, some non dairy milk for creamyness and serve. You can cook the potatoes/cauliflower separately if you like and also make this on the stove top. See recipe notes below for Stovetop instructions and times. Lets get cooking!

Tips to make delicious Vegan Bourguignon
- You want to use less liquid when pressure cooking for a roasting effect on the mushrooms. Much more concentrated flavor. You can add more broth later while simmering after pressure cooking
- It is ok if some of the liquid from the mushrooms comes into the steamer.
- Change up the fresh herbs for variation
- This recipe is easily doubled, with or without the pip, with or without potato. Just add 2 more mins of cooking time.
- For additional protein, add some white beans to the potato and mash. or serve the dish with a side of beans, or add some cooked beans or lentils to the cooked mushrooms and simmer for a few mins.

Notes
Stove top: In a frying pan, sauté the onion and garlic with a good pinch of salt on medium high heat. When the onion turns translucent, add the carrots and bay leaf and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, more salt, thyme, and red wine. Cover with a lid, and cook until the mushrooms are al dente. Make a space in the mushroom mixture, and add the tomato paste, soy sauce, and a little stock, then mix in the tomato paste. Then, add the cornstarch mixed with the remaining stock. Cook until thickened, and it is ready to serve.
Make your mashed potatoes, by boiling 12 to 14 mins or as you like. Mash and serve with the stew

This was soooooo delicious!! I will be making it again in the near future. It was so satisfying, comfort food. Excellent.
Absolutely delicious Richa!
Your recipes are always so easy to read and follow. Thank you for another fantastic recipe!
I ended up leaving out the thyme and adding bay leaves and some rosemary while sticking to potato mash with cashew sauce mixed in 🙂
My husband liked it but really didn’t like the thyme…is there another spice you could recommended that I can substitute the thyme with? Thanks!
Rosemary or Oregano?
Delicious. Doubled the potato/cauliflower mash and that felt like a better amount for the vegetable portion this makes .. but maybe we just really like mash =)
made for my family tonight and 5/5 ate it all up! I thought it was on the bland side, but i made it in my instant pot and am thinking that sautéing the onions and mushrooms on the stovetop would yield more flavor. I’ll probably add more olive oil next time around, too, for some extra healthy fat. Overall a great vegan comfort food meal!
the instant pot caramelizes onions and mushrooms under pressure if there is just enough liquid. if you doubled, tripled th recipe or there was more liquid, then the caramelization prob was affected. you can saute them in the pot a bit longer before adding other ingredients
Followed the stove top version and loved it!!And non vegetarian/skeptical husband went back for seconds . Will make again!!
Such a flavorful meal!
I made this exactly as written for the stovetop version. It was amazing! So easy, flavorful, and comforting! Thanks for the great recipe 🙂
yay
Thanks for a great recipe. Looked and tasted delicious! Cooked it for myself and I’m so glad that I get to have yummy leftovers for a couple of days. I’ll be making it again soon when my hubby gets back in town.
Beautiful dish. I added some cannelloni beans at the end. Will definitely make this one again!
We are working to incorporate more vegetarian meals into our diet – this one will definitely be a staple! SO GOOD!
