Revisiting my vegan tofu bourguignon recipe (+video!)

May 23, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

One year ago I cooked my first ever vegan tofu bourguignon and that recipe inspired me to finally create tofucado and share my recipes with you. Today, one year later, I’m sharing the same recipe (improved version) but I’m also finally launching the tofucado youtube channel. I hope you all enjoy the revisited recipe as well as the video! And don’t forget to subscribe to the channel! 🥰

⚠️This is my first video ever and I’m still learning but hopefully the quality will improve with each video and I can continue to share good quality content with all of you. All feedback is more than welcomed!

Don’t forget to scroll down to read the full recipe in english! La recette est aussi disponible en français.

Ingredients

For this recipe, we are going to need:

  • Vegetables: Carrots, onions, mushrooms and garlic.
  • Tofu
  • Red wine
  • Spices: Thym, bay leaves, persil, salt and pepper
  • Some olive oil
  • Tomato sauce
  • Veggie broth or water
Ingredients Vegan Tofu Bourguignon

How to prepare this vegan tofu bourguignon ?

Tofu press & marinate

As I have mentioned many times in this blog, pressing & marinating the tofu is paramount to firm and super flavorful tofu. For today’s recipe we need that. Tofu bourguignon is all about deep flavors. We will press the tofu for minimum 30 minutes and then we will prepare the marinate.

The marinate is made out of: half of the wine, spices & tomato sauce. We mix well and we leave the tofu to rest with it for at least 1 hour.

Marinate the vegan tofu bourguignon

Preparing the veggies while the tofu marinates

We can take advantage of that marinating time to prepare all of our veggies: dice the onions, cut the carrots in rounds and cut the mushrooms in big chunks.

Once the tofu has marinated for one hour, we can start cooking our vegan tofu bourguignon! First we will cook the onion, garlic & carrots at high heat for like 5 minutes (making sure we don’t burn our pot!). We want them to brown a bit the bottom so we can properly deglaze with a bit our broth. Once that is done, we add the mushrooms and the spices and we repeat the same process. 5 minutes at high heat and if it starts attaching to the bottom again, we deglaze.

Cooking the vegan tofu bourguignon

Once those 10 initial minutes have passed, we set the veggies aside and we can cook the tofu. We cook the tofu in the same pan, 5 minutes at high heat and then we can add the veggies back. After that, we add the other half of everything: half of tomato sauce and wine back to the pan.

Tip: Before adding the wine back, I’d suggest trying the sauce. If it’s too punchy for you already, I’d say drink the wine instead of adding it to the mix. If it still needs a bit more, go ahead and add it to the bourguignon.

Once everything is well mixed-in, we are going to let our tofu bourguignon simmer for at least 1h.

Eating the tofu bourguignon

Passed that hour, we can start thinking about eating it with some delicious:

  • potatoes or
  • pasta

Choose your team. We chose potatoes! Don’t hesitate to pour some extra sauce on top of the potatoes for an extra kick of flavor.

What is your favorite “traditional meal” made vegan? I think tofu bourguignon has to be on the top for me. Kimchi stew as well. Tell me all in the comments !

As per usual, I hope you all enjoy this recipe and if you try it out, don’t forget to tag @tofu_cado and show me the results!

Have a great saturday, and see you next time !

I am so excited to read these books but except the "for the throne" book, I don't really know what they are about. 

💬 Do you usually buy books just because of the cover?
📚Book review: A haunted road atlas by @theemsch 📚Book review: A haunted road atlas by @theemschulz and @xtineschiefer (podcast @atwwdpodcast) 

I gotta say I was way too excited about this book because it is the first time I can actually buy something from my favourite podcasters without having to pay +50€ of shipping. But that's just a side note. 

🌍What is this book about? As the title says, it's a guide of haunted places in the US :  a mix of paranormal and true crime stories told by Em and Christine and other cool / haunted places to visit in each city/state. 

👻The stories, while obviously dark, are told in a funny way and it goes by like a breeze. I read it like a normal book, but you can totally read it one state at a time and it'd be even greater.

The book is quite original because well, there is a million road trip guides out there but few like this one! 

🔥I'm a huge fan of ATWWD so i may be a bit biased, but nonetheless this was great and entertaining and I really want to do a freaking road trip now!

✨Meat & veggie broth✨ Quick recipe with the In ✨Meat & veggie broth✨
Quick recipe with the Instant pot today : this is one of my favourite things to make because you get : awesome broth, awesome meat and veggies, and tons of possible meals out of it. 

To make this easy broth you will need : 
- 2 to 3 different types of meat : I usually get jamón (but in France it's very costly to find good one), chicken legs, beef ribs or beef meatballs). For this one I used the chicken legs, beef ribs and pork belly. 
- veggies: all you want, everyone is welcomed !! I mainly use cabbage, carrots, leek, celery, potatoes. Sometimes I put garlic in there. 
- chickpeas 
- salt and pepperrrrr
- i use a bit of soy sauce to give an extra quick as well. 

Now, put everything in the instant pot, put water till almost the max limit and close the lid. If you making it with meat, go 1h + natural release (up to two hours).
