Bluff Bourguignon Stew
with Buttery Potatoes
We're not bluffing when we say this plant-based twist on classic Boeuf Bourguignon is giving it a run for its money. Traditionally, the French stew features red wine-braised beef, mushrooms, potatoes, and aromatic vegetables. Fable, made from shiitake mushrooms, is a deceptively delicious stand-in for hearty chunks of stewed beef. Serve it at Easter dinner or Passover Seder – your guests will forgive you for this little white lie.

INSTRUCTIONS
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Add shiitake protein and cook until brown and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to plate and set aside.
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in same pot over medium-high heat. Stir in onion and carrots and cook until softened and beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic, just 2 tsp thyme, tomato powder, mushroom powder, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp pepper and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in broth concentrate, wine, potatoes, and 3 cups water, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
Combine cornstarch and ¼ cup water, then stir into pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and return shiitake protein to pot. Simmer until sauce is thickened and shiitake protein is warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Ladle stew into bowls and sprinkle with parsley. Soup's on!
For 4-serving meal, double all ingredients except water in step 2; use just 5 cups water. You may need to cook in batches, in larger cooking vessels, or for longer cook times. Follow visual cues in 2-serving recipe.
