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.

Mushroom Bourguignon:
- 2 tsp oil
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 10 oz sliced mushrooms, mixed or white or cremini
- 1/4 cup brandy or whiskey or red wine or use broth
- 3/4 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 3/4 tsp dried thyme or 1 tbsp fresh
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp soy sauce, ,tamari for gluten-free, coconut aminos for soyfree
- 2 tsp tomato paste
- 1/2 cup water or broth
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot starch mixed in 3 tbsp water, (you can also add 2 tbsp of the mashed potato mixture to thicken)
- 1 cup of spinach or greens
Potato Mash:
- 1 large potato cubed small
- 1 cup cauliflower florets, (heaping cup)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 to 4 tbsp non dairy milk
- 1/4 tsp each salt, garlic powder
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- 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.
- Place the steamer basket on top of the mushroom mixture. Add potato and cauliflower to it.
- 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.
- 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.

I saw this recipe on social media, and wanted to make it. Well I finally made it today! I was worried about my husband, as he is a little picky about veg dishes, to my surprise he loved it more than I did (there was a flavour that was kind of strong for me) I messed up the recipe as I put 2 tbsp of tomato paste instead of 2 tsp, so I will definitely try again with the right amount of tomato paste. I also used brandy maybe next time I will use broth or wine.
Thank you for sharing, I will look for other recipes on your website.
awesome, thank you for your interest
Made this on the stove top as i don’t have a pressure cooker. Super easy and absolutely delicious! Thank you.
hooray!
Sounds scrumptious!!!! Gonna try !!!
I hope that you love it!
I only had about 1/3rd of required mushrooms so made up the difference with zucchini & pumpkin, also for the mash I replaced milk with sour cream, (making it vegetarian not vegan),it was delicious, next time I’ll use more mushrooms which will be even better.
Thanks for such a yummy recipe! Don’t miss the meat at all.
glad you loved it!
This was very good! I used vegetable broth in place of wine and it still turned out great. I could have eaten the potato and cauliflower mash on its own it was so delicious. Highly recommend!
Awesome ! thank you
I have made this multiple times and each time it is absolutely fabulous. I switch up my mushrooms , using field, portabella, and always make extra for leftovers. I have a side of grilled tofu to add protein.
Variety is the spice of life
My first dish from this blog and I loved it! Served it over a bed of garlic herb mashed potatoes.
Can’t wait to try more recipes from you
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m not a cook, my husband does most of it. I made this Mushroom Bourguignon, it was easy to do, my first pot-in-pot experience. The best part – it was incredibly delicious. We put this on our list of favorite dishes. Enjoy!
Great news! thanks Barb
