A delicious and hearty vegan and gluten-free take on Bourguignon and served with a creamy Celeriac and Potato Mash!
Prepare the soy curls: place 1 cup of broth, the Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, and thyme in a small saucepan. Place over medium-high heat, and, just before it is about to boil, remove from heat.
Place the soy curls into a glass bowl. Pour the broth mixture on top and let the soy curls soak for about 5 minutes.
After they've rehydrated, drain the soy curls. You'll want to squeeze out some of the extra liquid.
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Use 2 tbsp of butter and fry the soy curls. You want them to get browned and slightly crispy, about 10 minutes.
Prepare the bourguignon: In a large soup pot, fry the onion in the remaining butter over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
Next add the carrot and mushrooms. Fry over medium heat for 12 -15 minutes, or until the carrots have softened a bit.
Add the soy curls, herbs, remaining broth, wine, tomato paste, and pearl onions - bring to a boil. I don't chop the herbs, I just throw them in and then remove them before serving.
Once the bourguignon has come to a boil, immediately turn to low heat. Take 1/4 cup of the broth and place in a small bowl. Add the arrowroot to make a slurry, then place it back into the bourguignon. It will thicken almost immediately.
Cover and cook over low heat for 20-30 minutes while you make the celeriac and potato mash.
Cover the celeriac and potato with water, add a dash of salt, and bring to a boil.
Boil the celeriac and potatoes for about 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
Drain the water out and add the butter, garlic, and salt and pepper. Mash and add the milk alternative, 1 tbsp at a time, until you get your desired mash consistency! I personally like to leave mine a little chunky.
Serve the bourguignon over the celeriac and potato mash. Enjoy!
