Ingredients

  • 1 300g bag Quorn Vegetarian Steak Strips
  • 2 carrots roughly chopped
  • 2sticks of celery, chopped
  • 2 red onions Roughly chopped
  • 4x cloves garlic, minced
  • 30g Dried porcini Mushrooms (soaked in 300ml of boiling water) then chopped
  • 3x Tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 20g Butter (or Vegan Butter)
  • 3 tbsp Plain Flour
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 500ml Red wine
  • 250g Chestnut Mushrooms, halved
  • 200ml Good Veg Stock
  • 1 tbsp Marmite

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 210°c/ 200 Fan/ Gas Mark 7. Put chestnut mushrooms, butter and thyme in a roasting tray and roast for around 15 minutes, or until mushrooms are golden and no longer watery. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Melt butter in a large pan and add onion, carrot, and celery. Cook on a medium heat until onion is soft, and mix is starting to caramelise.
  3. Add to this the tomato purée, garlic, and porcini mushrooms, and continue cooking for 2 minutes. When the tomato purée is starting to caramelise and catch on the pan, add a couple of tablespoons of the red wine, just to deglaze the pan.
  4. Turn the heat down, and add the flour, stirring well. Pour in the rest of the wine, stock, porcini liquid, and marmite, and let cook for around 15 minutes, or until the sauce has started to thicken and the carrots are almost cooked through.
  5. Throw in the Quorn Vegetarian Steak Strips and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
  6. Once strips are piping hot throughout, add in mushrooms, season Bourguignon to taste and serve.
