Preparation Steps
- In a measuring cup, combine one cup of hot water with the dried porcini mushrooms. Allow them to soak for about 20 minutes until they become soft and plump.
- In a large pot, heat one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over low to medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, carrot, and red bell pepper, cooking for about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the sliced cremini mushrooms, minced garlic, dried thyme, and oregano. Cook for about 7-10 minutes until the mushrooms release their liquid.
- Carefully remove the dried mushrooms from the measuring cup while reserving the soaking liquid. Finely chop the softened mushrooms and add them to the pot along with 2 tablespoons of tomato paste.
- Gently pour in the red wine and the reserved mushroom soaking liquid. Increase the heat to bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the vegan butter and flour using a fork until it resembles a crumb-like texture. Add this blend to the pot while stirring continuously.
- Once thickened, serve the Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon warm over a bed of vegan mashed potatoes or pasta, sprinkle with fresh chopped chives.
