For the Stew
- 8 oz Mixed Mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, portobello) – varied texture and flavor
- 2 medium Carrots – chopped
- 1 medium Onion – chopped
- 1 cup Red Wine – dry, medium-to-full-bodied
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 2 tbsp Miso
- 3 cups Mushroom or Vegetable Broth – for vegan option
Thickening Agent
- 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour – use gluten-free blend for gluten-free option
- Sauté Mushrooms: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and sauté half of the mixed mushrooms with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper for about 8-10 minutes until they are beautifully browned. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set them aside.
- Cook Vegetables: In the same pot, add chopped carrots and onion. Cook over medium heat until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and tomato paste, stirring continuously for 30 seconds to combine the flavors.
- Add Flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the vegetable mixture and stir well to coat everything. This will help thicken the stew.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the browned mushrooms to the pot and pour in the red wine, broth, and miso. Stir until all ingredients are well blended.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid slightly ajar and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the stew is thickened and glossy.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish the stew with fresh parsley for added color and flavor before serving.
Notes
- Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
- Choose a dry, medium-to-full-bodied red wine for best flavor.
- Miso adds umami depth but can be omitted or replaced with soy sauce if unavailable.
- Simmer gently to prevent the stew from burning or sticking.
- Serve with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or over rice for a complete meal.
