Mushroom & Chestnut Bourguignon

30/1/2023

Picture
The old traditional dish was made with beef, but the new traditional one is now made with mushrooms and chestnuts.
 
Bourguignon is a saucy dish of seasonal root vegetables made with wine as the base for the broth originally from the Burgundy region. The wonderful deep flavour comes from the wine & the porcini ‘jus’… and from the slow cooking in the oven. All the vegetable flavours come together with the herbs. 
 
Poured over a nice bed of mashed potato this dish is pure winter comfort food!
 
INGREDIENTS
  • 6 small onions, quartered
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled, whole
  • 400 g button mushrooms, halved
  • 20 g dried porcini mushroom
  • 4 carrots – cut into bite size chunks
  • 1 red pepper – cut into chunks
  • ½ to 1 cup cooked chestnuts, chopped in two
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 Tbsp tamari soya sauce
  • 1 cup of red wine
  • ½ litre soaking water from the porcini
  • 2 bay leaves
  • A few sprigs of thyme
  • 3 Tbsp wholewheat flour
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • A handful of fresh parsley, chopped
  • salt and pepper to season, to taste
  • ½ litre of water
 
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. You will need a ‘Dutch Oven’ or large Pyrex dish with a lid to place into the oven.
  2. If you have time, marinate the onion and carrots for a few hours or overnight in the fridge. Marinate in the cup of wine, the water, the tamari, the thyme, and the bay leaves.
  3. Soak the dried porcini in 500ml of hot water, set aside
  4. In a frying pan lightly separately fry the onion, the pepper and the mushrooms for a few minutes in a drop of oil, to braise the surface. Transfer back to the water and wine broth.
  5. Then do the same with the carrots. Before transferring the carrots to the broth, sprinkle the flour over them and mix well to avoid lumps then mix it all into the broth.
  6. Finally add the tomato paste and the chestnuts, mix it all well and place into a hot oven 200C to cook covered for 30 minutes, then uncovered for another 15 minutes. You want to make sure the onion and carrots are cooked and the sauce has thickened a bit.
  7. If it is too dry add a little water so there is a sauce with the vegetables. If too runny you can add a tsp of cornflour pre-mixed in a little water.
  8. Serve over piping hot mashed potatoes and some freshly chopped parsley.
 

​Bon appétit !
