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

Loved this. It had such a nice flavor and the half cauliflower/potato mash was lighter than just a potato mash was. I also used frozen cauliflower and frozen spinach in the recipe and that worked fine. I served this with a side of wine sauteed lentils.
awesome!
Just made this, it’s so good! I used a whole 16 oz box of mushrooms since I feel short on the carrots, and used broth instead of wine. Thanks for the recipe!
yum
I am not vegan, but have been trying to add more plant based dishes to my diet for health reasons. I prepared this recipe adding the rosemary and bay leaf as suggested. It was amazing! Even my husband, who does not like mushrooms, tried it and declared it delicious. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
yay! awesome!!
I made this as a weekday meal but I think I actually won my love over with this incredibly sexy meal. I know a meal that is sexy? Seriously, it’s a very impressive meal and with Richa’s instructions, wasn’t too time- consuming at all.
The leftovers, I cause my boyfriend eating cold in front of the fridge. 😀
It’s comfort food that’s upped several notches.
Thanks, Richa
yay!
cooked in a dutch oven came out delish as well !! very tasty
awesome!
Instagram worthy and oh so tasty!
thanks!
I’ve made this several times and absolutely love it, so does my 15 yr old vegan daughter.
I just cannot get on the instant pot boat. It is too big and bulky and really not instant at all. Way too complicated to use when cooking. I guess I’m just old fashioned.
I make this recipe on the stovetop. It summers a little longer and makes the house smell so good! I use all mashed potatoes because they are the ultimate side to any comfort dish. They are absolutely heavenly with this recipe.
Thank you for your recipes.
thats awesome! yes it is a big appliance. You can probably get a smaller stove top pressure cooker.I have 3 stove top pressure cookers since indian food usually uses them. instant poti s just recently getting popular. its not that bad, just focus on one button. i use just the pressure cook button most of the times and dont even bother to remember the others
Made this recipe for my daughter to take home after a visit. Just had the remainder for lunch. Am sooo regretting giving it away. Absolutely delicious
🙂
This is my first VR recipe, and I immediately ordered both books. What talent!
A beautiful and delicious dish with such depth of flavor. This is a winner! It is easy to prepare, immensely satisfying, and a breeze to clean up. This will be my new go-to favorite. Thank you!!!
thats awesome! Thank you for getting the books!
Hi Richa,
I’ve been cooking your recipes for a long while now–excellent! We are big VR fans. We are trying to eat fewer potatoes, so I assume it’s no big deal to simply double the cauliflower in the mash recipe. Would you make any other modifications in that case?
yes totally, just use more cauliflower. You’ll need a bit more cauliflower to make the a good volume of the mash as cauliflower makes less. Whip it up after mashing with some non dairy cream or thick milk and olive oil for fluffy mash
