INGREDIENTS:
1 cup onion, minced
2 stalks celery, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
3 cups fat-free beef broth
1 (28-oz.) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine
1 Tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon fresh sage, minced
2 red or yellow bell peppers, seeded, sliced and roasted
I roasted the sliced red peppers and half a large yellow onion in advance.
It's easy: Place the vegetables in a bowl and add a bit of balsamic vinegar and low-sugar apricot preserves. Mix to coat vegetables and set aside while the oven preheats to 350°F.
Lay vegetables on a cookie sheet in a single layer and bake for 30-45 minutes until soft and beginning to caramelize (you'll see browned or blackened areas).
6 oz. crimini mushrooms, cleaned and quartered
1 cup peas
1 /3 cup cold water or broth
2 Tbsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch
Beefy Seitan, cubed
Could you make your own Beefy Seitan? Oh, yes, you could!
METHOD:
In a large pot, sauté onion, celery and garlic in white wine until onions are translucent. Add peppers, mushrooms, and peas. Bring to a simmering boil.
Whisk together water and arrowroot powder or cornstarch until smooth. Slowly pour into simmering sauce, stirring constantly.
Add seitan. Lower heat and continue stirring as sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Serve with steamed vegetables for a healthy French meal. Delicious over creamy polenta!
Q: Hey, Sharine, you ask, What's the big green twig in the photo?!
A: It's a bouquet garnis: A sprig of fresh rosemary and several stems of thyme, tied together with cotton string. Add this to your Bourgignon after vegetables are soft. Remove before serving!
