This hearty, tasty, divine, filling, easy-to-make, no-beef vegan mushroom stew recipe is a great lunch or dinner idea
Guys, this is unreal.
If you gave me this dish to try blindfolded I would probably be very mad thinking this is a real beef stew. If you know what I mean.

When I was little, my parents would take me and my sister for road trips quite often and on our way back we would always stop for dinner. They would have a traditional beef or venison stew. Which sounds repulsive now even by typing it..
Anyways, my sister and I would always be basic and have some grilled meat and fries but I would have a try of my parents’ meal. And yes, this dish tastes EXACTLY like that stew, but without any animal suffering.

And I must say, I’m so proud of myself for recreating that exact dish and I can’t stress enough that you have to try this. Especially if you have non-vegans in your life that you would like to impress. Honestly, give it a go.
Besides this delicious no beef vegan stew, I have made home-made gnocchi to go along with the stew. They are not a necessity but they definitely make this dish complete. You can, of course, prepare store-bought gnocchi.

Let’s see what are the key ingredients of this vegan no beef mushroom stew;
KEY INGREDIENTS
Mushrooms – I used white button mushrooms, and I used a lot. Mushrooms are amazing, by taste and by their nutritional value. They give this dish umami flavour, and make it more filling and hearty.
Veggies – Potatoes, carrots, red bell pepper and parsnips are the main veggies besides mushrooms. Celery stalks would be a great addition to this dish instead of parsnips as well.
Red wine – Vegan red wine is just a cherry on top to this delicious no beef vegan stew. It’s what gives this stew, a real stew taste. You can, of course, omit the wine in case you wish to have an alcohol-free dish but I would highly recommend adding it.

- Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for about 5-7min.

- Add the flour and coat the veggies.
- Once the veggies are coated, add the veggie broth and mix well.

- Now add the wine and simmer for another 20min or until carrots and potatoes are very tender.
- Serve with gnocchi or on its own.
- Enjoy!
