Mushroom Bourguignon

Mushroom Bourguignon

Meaty mushrooms simmered with pearl onions, wine and carrots make for a rich, wintry Bourguignon-style stew. The quality of the stock here makes a big difference, so if you’re not using homemade, buy a good brand. If you’re a meat eater, beef broth adds a familiar brawny character to this dish, but mushroom or vegetable broth work just well, especially because the whole dish is rounded out with a tamari for depth. For the best flavor, use as many kinds of mushrooms as you can get, and let them really brown when searing; that caramelization adds a lot of depth to the sauce. Maitake mushrooms give this a brisketlike texture, in a very good way.

Mushroom Pierogi

Mushroom Pierogi

Pierogi are idiosyncratic dumplings. You can fill them with pretty much whatever you want, make them as large or small as you want, alter the dough and either boil or fry them... or both. Mushroom pierogi are a very common thing in Eastern Europe, as the various Slavic nations tend to be serious mushroom eaters. These pierogi are made with fresh porcini and reconstituted black trumpet mushrooms. But you can do this with pretty much any mushroom you'd want to eat. I like having two different kinds for variety, but you could do fresh and dried morels, for example.

About this Recipe

Looking for a hearty, flavorful meatless meal that doesn't compromise on satisfaction? These Mushroom Burgers deliver a delicious, savory experience that's perfect for any burger night.

The magic behind these mushroom patties lies in the thoughtful combination of fresh, finely chopped mushrooms with classic binders and flavor enhancers. The generous amount of mushrooms provides a deep, earthy foundation, while eggs and dry bread crumbs ensure a wonderfully cohesive, yet tender, texture. Shredded cheddar cheese and finely chopped onion contribute a rich, savory depth that beautifully complements the aromatic thyme, elevating every bite.

Prepare for a truly satisfying burger experience that's robust in flavor and surprisingly substantial. You'll find a burger patty that's wonderfully moist and tender on the inside, with a savory profile deeply enhanced by the earthy mushrooms, tangy cheddar cheese, and aromatic thyme. This harmonious blend creates a rich, umami-packed flavor that makes for a deeply comforting meal. Served simply on whole wheat buns with crisp lettuce, these Mushroom Burgers offer a balanced and delicious option that will leave you feeling completely content. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy a classic comfort food, reimagined for a meatless menu.

Feel free to get creative with this versatile recipe! While cheddar is a fantastic choice, you could easily swap it for another melty cheese like provolone or a spicy pepper jack for an extra kick. For different flavor notes, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of garlic powder to the mushroom mixture. If whole wheat buns aren't your preference, brioche or ciabatta rolls would also be delicious. Don't have fresh onion? A teaspoon of onion powder could work in a pinch, though fresh is always best.

These Mushroom Burgers are ideal for weeknight dinners, casual gatherings, or any time you crave a comforting meal. Serve them with classic burger fixings like sliced tomatoes and mayonnaise, alongside your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
