This mushrooms with burgundy sauce over polenta is a very unique and bold recipe full of flavor. The mushrooms provide a great richness and meatiness to the dish, as well as a great source of protein. This would be a great choice to serve for a small gathering or a ladies’ luncheon. Pair it with a tossed green salad or fresh fruit salad and you’ll have a complete meal.
This recipe calls for polenta and you can buy readymade polenta or prepare it yourself. Here's video (below) for a great recipe for making homemade polenta. I think you’ll find the homemade version of polenta better than store bought.
This recipe calls for Worcestershire Sauce and there is a version of vegan Worcestershire but if you don’t like the standard store bought with all the salt, you can make a homemade version here.
It's all in the sauce. These plant-based recipes are proof:
- Classic Basil Marinara with Angel Hair Pasta
- Roasted Veggie Tacos With Chipotle Sauce
- Spinach Tofu Benedict
- Enchilada Casserole
This dish is recommended topped with parsley but you could also add additional green onions or crushed red pepper flakes for some spice.
