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

Love this recipe ! It’s delicious!
Winner!
Do you have a substitute suggestion if you don’t like mushrooms? The rest of the dish looks really good.
eggplant has a similar texture
Loved this! I don’t have a pressure cooker so I baked it in my trusty Corning ware casserole dish in the oven on 220C and after adding the thickener I reduced the temperature to 180C. Delicious and I’ll definitely make this again 🙏🏻💖
Classic corning ware! Love it! Thank you for the info!
Yum!!! This so good and hardy, exactly what I needed!
I’m so glad!
Can you freeze it??
Yes, it may change the texture a bit when you thaw it out but the taste will be the same.
For three people this recipe definitely needs to be doubled. It’s delicious! We ate it all. Wished we had leftovers. Red wine was used instead of brandy. We were wondering if using brandy would have made it more flavorful?
Brandy would impart a different flavour than red wine but whatever you have on hand is just fine. – maybe something to try next time.
Hello!
Thank you for this lovely recipe.
What do you do if you don’t have a steamer basket in your Instapot?

Thank you. I steamed them separately and it came out delicious.
Thank you for the great recipes and all the effort you put in this.
