Mushroom Bourguignon

Mushroom Bourguignon

“M” in our Vegetarian Alphabet. We don’t often have wine in the flat, but when we do..... Actually Red Wine and Sue don’t get alone very well, but the small amount in this recipe really made the dish and didn’t hurt!

Ingredients:-

1 Onion, finely sliced
1 Carrot, thinly sliced
Chestnut Mushrooms, Sliced
Dried Mushrooms, soaked over night
1 ½ tsp Thyme
3 cloves of Garlic, minced
A hearty glug of Red Wine
1 Veg Stock Cube dissolved in 500ml of hot water
2 Bay Leaves
1 tbsp of Tomato Paste
1 tsp of dried Yeast
1 tbsp Cornflour
Salt & Pepper
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Soak your dried Mushrooms in water over night. Drain and set aside.
(2) Fry your Onions and Carrots gently until softened.
(3) Add the Mushrooms, Garlic, Thyme and Salt & Pepper.
(4) Simmer for 5 minutes.
(5) Stir in the Tomato Paste.
(6) Glug in the Wine and bring to the boil.
(7) Reduce the heat and add the Stock, Bay Leaves, Yeast ans Cornflour.
(8) Stir well and cook on a low heat for a further 10 minutes.
(9) Season to taste and serve over Rice Noodles.

Again although we have no intention of going Veggie / Vegan this was a really tasty meal. Served over some Rice Noodles.

Leftovers Soup!


We have a confession to make…. We often cook far too many vegetables and also end up with bits of leftover meat. Most folk would throw these in the bin, but we’re a bit tight like that. So it all ends up in the freezer in boxes. But the freezer is not a bottomless pit.

So yesterday we had a “Soup Making Day” Nothing goes to waste here. I can’t give you exact ingredients for this soup but basically you’ll need the following.

Ingredients:-

Vegetables and meat leftovers from the freezer
2 Stock cubes
1 Wuzzer ( We got ours as a freebie via Amazon when we switched energy suppliers) – That’s a food processor to most folk.

Method:-

(1) Thaw everything you have stored in boxes.
(2) Boil 2 Stock cubes in 500ml of water.
(3) Blitz everything apart from the stock.
(4) Place in a large pan and add enough stock to make a reasonable soup liquidity.
(5) Bring to boil.
(6) If you are not going to eat today allow to cool and freeze in portions.

We have a few verbs and bits an bobs which we are growing in tubs on our balcony, so I dressed the soups up with those, a Gluten free cracker and a bit of grated Cheese. Looks good, tastes better!
