Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 450 grams Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 200 grams Button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 medium Carrot, peeled and diced
- 2 medium Celery stalk, diced
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 cups Vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Dry red wine
- 1 whole Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until the butter has melted.
Add the diced yellow onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the sliced cremini and button mushrooms to the pot. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Stir in the diced carrots and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes to soften the vegetables slightly.
Sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetable mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the vegetable stock while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Add the tomato paste and stir until it is fully incorporated into the liquid.
Pour in the red wine, then add the bay leaf, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the stew has thickened.
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Remove the bay leaf from the pot and discard.
Ladle the mushroom stew into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
