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 SO good!! My husband and I really gobbled it up!! It’s going on our regular rotation list. Thanks!
yay
Thank you! It’s so yummy. I ate it with black rice (not a fan of mushy food) and steamed kale.
yum!
Can I use white wine instead of red wine?
yes
…omg this is the first vegan recipe I made that came out so good!!! I’ve been vegan almost 4 years and I have to occasionally tweak some recipes. This recipe was so good. My husband and 12 year old loved. We’re vegan, and she’s not. Thank you 🙏🏾
Awesome! So glad you loved it.
Hi Richa, this looks amazing! If I double the recipe will it work out ok.. wasn’t sure if it would be too much for the steamer basket. Thanks.
If there is about 1.5 inch of space to the lid then it should be fine. Else just steam the veggies first with just water at the bottom then make the bourguignon.
Thanks so much for the recipe it turn out awesome!!! Definitely will be making this again and again 😊
Can I just put in my small metal steamer that I have had for years or do I need to buy one.
I want to try this recipe may I copy it as it is not In My 2 cook books from you
I love your books and photos!!!
Yes any steamer that fits the instant pot should work.
Sure, print it out using theprint button and add a page to the book:)
Suggestions on a protein? Maybe cooked white beans after cooking?
yes white beans mashed into the potatoes. or just some garlic and herb beans onthe side.
Made this in a traditional pressure cooker, but the potato/cauliflower mash cooked separate. SO DELICIOUS!
yay
Hello, I have a 6 qt instant pot, and am looking at purchasing the steamer basket. Does the basket sit down into the pot on top of the mushroom mixture or higher up in the pot? I love the idea of cooking both at once and will be trying this soon!
Thank you
this steamer has 3/4 inch legs, but in many cases its just sitting on top. Also since they are a part of the same recipe, the potatoes picking up some of the mushroom stew juices that bubble up is fine. inf act the potatoes are much tastier that way
Which steamer do you use with your instant pot?
i have something like this. https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Stainless-Steamer-Extendable-Handle/dp/B000HCBDF2/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1546153578&sr=8-13&keywords=steamer+food
Any basket steamer that fits the pot will work
