About the Recipe
Ingredients
2 cups beefless broth
3 tbsp DF butter
2 cups pearl onions
3 cups baby carrots
6-8 garlic cloves, minced
Bouquet Garni: 2-3 sprigs of fresh rosemary, 4-5 sprigs of fresh thyme, 1 bay leaf
2 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp dried oregano
3 cups of cremini or shiitake mushrooms, sliced or quartered
3 cups of jackfruit
3 tbsp tomato paste
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup red wine (burgundy or pinot noir)
2 tbsp arrowroot starch
Preparation
Place a Dutch oven over medium heat with DF butter and sauté onions for 3 to 5 minutes until just getting some light golden color, then add the carrots and sauté for another 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir in garlic, rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, poultry seasoning, and oregano and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
Add mushrooms and cook 3 to 4 minutes until mushrooms looks softer and have shrunk a bit in size. Then add jackfruit, tomato paste, and salt/pepper to taste. Stir to coat evenly and cook for another 1 minute.
Add the red wine and bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and add the lid. Cook until carrots are tender (~15-20 minutes)
Remove lid and add the arrowroot starch. Mix well and allow sauce to thicken (~2 minutes)
This dish is best served with eggless egg noodles, mashed potatoes or parsnip puree. Use the cooking time of the bourguignon to prepare the side.
