If you’re unsure the way to pronounce the last word of this recipe name, you’re not alone. I had to find out also once I first found it. I guessed at the way to pronounce it and got nowhere on the brink of the right pronunciation. Since i prefer to be helpful in additional ways than one, it’s pronounced “borg-in-yon” in America and therefore the more classic French pronunciation.

Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon

Now that you simply skills to pronounce the crazy word, let me tell you what it's. This word and elegance of cooking specifically comes from the world of France called “Bourgogne.” This name directly translates into “burgundy.” bourguignon is popularly a dark brown but can appear burgundy thanks to the wine wont to make it.

This recipe is popularly made as beef bourguignon, which may be a stew-like dish, but it’s easy to mimic the meat flavors and make a vegan beef bourguignon instead or my version, of course.
