Mushroom + Miso Bourguignon With Butter Bean Mash

Serves 4 people
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 700 g closed cup mushrooms
  • olive oil
  • salt + pepper
  • 10 shallots peeled + halved
  • 2 carrots chopped into 2cm pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves peeled + finely chopped
  • 240 ml vegan-friendly red wine
  • 360 ml vegetable stock
  • 1.5 tbsp tomato purée
  • 1.5 tbsp miso paste we use red (see notes)
  • 3 thick sprigs of fresh thyme see notes
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp maple syrup optional
  • 1 handful of fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 baguette sliced

For the butter bean mash:

  • 3 x 400 g tins of butter beans drained + rinsed
  • 1 lemon juice only
  • 4 tbsp nutritional yeast

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C fan / 425°F.
  • Brush any dirt off the mushrooms and trim any large stalks, then add them to a large roasting tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with pinches of salt and pepper, then mix. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes or until tender, then set aside.
  • Meanwhile, drizzle some olive oil into a casserole pot or high-sided pan on a medium heat. Add the shallots and carrot, then cook for 7-8 minutes or until brown around the edges.
  • Next add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the wine and cook for 3-4 minutes or until it has reduced by about half, then add the stock, tomato purée, miso, thyme and bay leaves. Stir well and gently boil for 15-25 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and reduced to a quarter of its volume, and the veggies are tender.
  • Meanwhile, add the beans to a large fast powered blender, followed by the lemon juice, nutritional yeast and pinches of salt and pepper. Add 4-5 tablespoons of water, then blend into a silky smooth mash, adding more water as you go until it reaches the right consistency.
  • Scoop out the butter bean mash into a saucepan and heat through on a low-medium heat.
  • When the sauce is ready, remove the bay leaves and thyme, then drop in the roasted mushrooms along with any juices from the tray, and give it a good stir. Stir in the maple syrup for a touch of sweetness, if necessary, then season to taste with salt and lots of pepper.
  • To serve, add the butter bean mash to bowls, then top with the mushroom bourguignon and chopped parsley. Serve with slices of crusty baguette. Enjoy!
