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.
Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon with Potato Cauliflower Mash
Ingredients
Mushroom Bourguignon:
- 2 tsp oil
- 1/2 (0.5 ) medium onion chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic finely chopped
- 10 oz (8 oz) sliced mushrooms mixed or white or cremini
- 1/4 cup (58.75 ml) brandy or whiskey or red wine or use broth
- 3/4 cup (75 g) chopped carrots
- 1 cup (101 g) chopped celery
- 3/4 tsp (0.75 tsp) dried thyme or 1 tbsp fresh
- 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) garlic powder
- 1 tbsp soy sauce ,tamari for gluten-free, coconut aminos for soyfree
- 2 tsp tomato paste
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) water or broth
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot starch mixed in 3 tbsp water (you can also add 2 tbsp of the mashed potato mixture to thicken)
- 1 cup (30 g) of spinach or greens
Potato Mash:
- 1 large potato cubed small
- 1 cup (100 g) cauliflower florets (heaping cup)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 to 4 tbsp non dairy milk
- 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) each salt garlic powder
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the Instant Pot on Saute. Add oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, mushrooms and a good pinch of salt and give them a quick mix. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until golden on some edges. Add a tbsp of water if browning too quickly.
- Add the wine and mix well for a few seconds to cook out the alcohol.
- Add the carrots, celery, thyme and garlic and mix well. Add the soy sauce, tomato paste, 1/3 tsp salt (if using water or unsalted broth) and water/broth and give it a mix. Cancel saute. You can also add in 1 bay leaf and some rosemary for flavor variation at this point.
- Place the steamer basket on top of the mushroom mixture. Add potato and cauliflower to it.
- Close the Instant Pot lid. Pressure Cook for 9 to 10 minutes (Manual hi pressure). Add a minute if using larger quantity of either mushroom mix or potatoes, or if doubling.
- Let the pressure release naturally once the cooking is complete. Open the lid and carefully remove the steamer basket.
- Put the pot on saute, Add cornstarch slurry and give it a mix (you can also add 2 tbsp of the mashed potato mixture to thicken). Add spinach or baby kale and black pepper and mix. Bring the mixture to a boil to thicken, then cancel saute. Taste and adjust salt and flavor.
- Meanwhile. Transfer the steamed potato and cauliflower to a bowl and mash roughly. Add garlic powder, salt, pepper, olive oil, non dairy milk and optionally fresh/dried herbs of choice(eg. thyme, rosemary, chives) and mash well to preferred consistency.
- Serve the mash layered with the mushroom bourguignon. Garnish with some fresh thyme or basil and black or white pepper.

Comfort food at its best. It’s a keeper.
Outstanding. I made it on the stovetop, using 5 Oz of fresh Cremini and 1 Oz of dried mixed mushrooms. I used the broth from hydrating the mushrooms in place of vegetable broth.
awesome!
Was it easy to make on the stovetop? I don’t have an instapot.
Yes its very easy, see “Notes” section for Stove top instructions.
Do you think you could freeze this ? (not the potatoes/cauliflower, just the mushroom sauce)
yes that should work
Yum! I make this about once a week, usually don’t mash potatoes but just add in. Thank you for this recipe!
Thank you for your very flavorful recipe. We loved it! Jules✨
awesome! thanks!
I’ve made this three times already! So good!
yay
This is a FANTASTIC vegan recipe! I have been a serious, in-depth, creative cook for 40 years. THIS recipe has it! Congratulations Richa! Only changes made to a doubled recipe: replaced Soy sauce with Braggs aminos , minimal salt, & Nutritional Yeast in the mash. Used Swiss Chard, cooked chick peas. Thank you !!!
yay!! so glad you loved it!
Delicious! Even my 13 year old loved it.
yay!
This was really Good!! I must admit, I was very sceptical when I decided to make it. I’m vegan but my hubby is not so it’s really hard to find any vegan dishes that he likes. I made this exactly like the recipe but in the end added Fry’s meat free chunky strips that I had fried before and had it with straight up mash potatoes as hubby isn’t a cauliflower mash person. It was so tasty that my husband told me it’s by far his favorite vegan meal. Definitely a keeper! Thanks!
awesome!
Definitely a company worthy recipe! Yummy!!!
Absolutely perfect! Thank you Richa!
thanks!
Is this WFPB compliant?
just omit the oil
I cooked this on the stovetop. Made it wfpb compliant. This delicious recipe will be a staple among my fall and winter meals. Thank you for sharing.
So delicious and husband approved! Only change I made was using broth in place of oil. We will add this to our “favorites” list. Thank you!
This was truly amazing. I didn’t bother putting cauliflower in the potatoes, but will another time. I added cooked red lentils to the potatoes as I was mashing them, for protein. I used Bragg’s aminos instead of tamari. This is a new staple in our home!
awesome!
This is looking delicious. I would love to bake this for the coming occasion Thanks for sharing the recipe
Did this on a stovetop and it came out soooo nicely. Amped up the garlic powder, salt, and pepper for the mash. Will use a little less broth, a few more mushrooms, and cook the carrots and celery a little longer. Easy tweaks, this recipe is so delicious!
awesome! yes the pan and stove would add or reduce time for the veggies. Adjust away!
How can i make this if Idont have an instant pot?
See recipe notes for stove top(pan)instructions. Most recipes have the stove top versions listed in notes
Made this tonight and couldn’t be happier.
Put it over polenta just because it was a little easier after a long day at work.
My husband and son liked it too. Thanks
For another delicious recipe!!
awesome!
Absolutely amazing. This one is being added to my treasure box of favorites.
awesome!
I made this for my husband and I, and I must say it was gorgeous, very tasty Will definitely be making this again, thank you.
awesome!
This recipe was so delicious! Will definitely be making it again. I recently got a pressure cooker and haven’t experimented too much with it yet and this recipe was super easy to follow. Thanks! Going to check out your other recipes as well 😀
Which broth do you recommend using?
I generally just use water or some water + soy sauce or homemade broth. Havent had great luck with store bought broths.
do you think this would work in a slow cooker? are there any adjustments you would make?
i havent ever used a slow cooker, so i wouldnt know
This is now in the favorites file! Thank you for sharing so many fabulous recipes.
awesome! thanks!
I am adding this to my Favorites. When my husband says you need to make that again soon, You know it’s a winner! We Loved it. Thank you
yay!
Good! Made without an instant pot or potato masher.
Used 16 Oz mushrooms, because that’s what I bought.
Thank you, Richa!
awesome!
Dearest Richa,
For years I have been making many of your delicious recipes both from the blog and both your books.
I kinda feel i may be one of your biggest fans tbh but I know I’m just one of your many, many cause you’re just that good.
I wanted to simply THANK YOU for sharing your genius and true talent for cooking in such a generous manner. You’ve basically taught me how to cook but more importantly i find it mind boggling how ALL YOUR RECIPES ARE AMAZING.
You just never dissapoint. Like ever. How is that even possible?
I don’t know. But what i do know for sure is this:
Talent such as yours is extremely rare, and it’s also truly inspiring.
Thank you so much for your awesomeness.
your forever fan,
marisol

For me, this is a perfect recipe for a beautiful, crispy autumn day. Husband loves it at well.
awesome!
awesome!
Well, you had me at “This is how one should be introduced to mushrooms”! I have been vegan WFPB for exactly 10 months and really want to like mushrooms and so I want to make this. Please let me know what is best for flavor … wine, brandy or whiskey?
😀 , i’d say wine. prob try all one by one and let me know which you loved best!
I have passed along this recipe to everybody I know. It’s so delicious!
yay!
Wow, yum!
I made this last night and we loved it. I just made regular mashed potatoes and it was still amazing. Thank you!
yay!
Awesome. Made this once. It was so delicious. What do you pour this over?
Thanks!
over mashed potatoes or other mashed veggies or over lentil loaf or burger patties or rice or pasta
This is on my ‘best things I’ve ever made’ list! I added Lentils fir more protein and cut out much of the oil to make it even more WFPB. I’ve been raving about it!
yay!
This is the best thing I have ever made!! LOVED IT!! I just added a few more veggies 😊
yay
I’ve been recently getting into the Instapot more often for my meals and this is by far one of the best recipes I’ve came across. Thank you again! Going to share it all with my coworkers!
awesome!
Came out great! I skipped the cornstarch slurry
aweesome
Tasty and filling! Did stovetop. Will increase/double the quantity ofmushrooms next time and cook the carrots and celery a bit longer. Looking forward to trying more recipes!
Wow Richa, you out-did yourself! Flavors are intricate and so wonderful. What a rich and filling recipe. Thank you.
so awesome that you tried it and loved it!
Stellar recipe! I cooked it on the stovetop and it was delicious. My 14-year-old son loved it, too. Thank you!
awsome!
Is there a steamer basket you recommend? And does the steamer just rest on top of the food beneath it, or is it somehow raised above the food? Thank you.
I use this kind https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Stainless-Steamer-Extendable-Handle/dp/B000HCBDF2/ and yes it sits right on top of the veggies. Someliquid might get intothe cauliflower and potatoes bu that willjust add more flavor
How long do you let the instant pot natural release for?
10 mins should be enough, it depends on the pot, it takes between 9 to 12 mins to release all the pressusre naturally
So delish & hearty. My meat eating family loved it!!
I made this tonight and it was sooo amazing. I used just potatoes but either way it was great and will definitely be making again.
Thanks
This has so much flavor!
I made this on my stovetop since I didn’t want to drag my instant pot from the back of my
cupboard 😁.
I used peppers instead of celery. Sautéed onion, Peppers and carrots in frying pan and added garlic at the end. I put that aside and then sautéed the mushrooms. I wanted to brown everything.
I put sauce ingredients in saucepan (doubled it) and added the veggies.
The mashed potatoes and cauliflower worked so well with it.
Thank you for this delicious recipe!
If I want to add chickpeas when will I add them ( knew to cooking)
I appreciate you.
when you add the cornstarch slurry
It was sooooo good!
I made this recipe yesterday. It is amazing. It will be in my two week rotation for quite a while!
I would love to make this recipe over the weekend. One q- What do you recommend to replace the alcohol? I’m pregnant and need to avoid.
just omit it and use broth
I made this tonight and it was amazing! I’m already planning to make it again this week!
Awesome!
