Notes
WHAT TO SERVE WITH MUSHROOM BOURGUIGNON
I love serving it over mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower. It also tastes great with wide noodles (such as fettuccine or linguine). It’s great on top of any grain: rice, quinoa, barley, farro, or bulgur. It’s such a comforting dish, perfect for lunch or dinner. I have also served it over roasted potatoes and it was amazing. And don’t forget a glass of red on the side!HELPFUL TIPS AND TRICKS
Use mushroom broth. If possible, use mushroom broth instead of vegetable. It adds an extra deep mushroom flavor and aroma. Here is a recipe for how to make it at home: Easy Mushroom Broth. Adjust salt carefully. Salt is a tricky ingredient here because the quantity needed depends on the veggie/mushroom broth you use. If you are using well seasoned and salted broth, reduce the amount of salt, or add some more at the end, if you feel it’s needed. Brown the mushrooms. It’s important to brown the mushrooms and allow the onion to caramelize before adding the wine. This step brings in a deep mushroom flavor to this dish. Adjust the liquids. Some people like a lighter, more runny consistency and some prefer a thick sauce. Feel free to add extra broth or water at the end and bring the sauce to the consistency you prefer.Nutrition
