Ultimate Portobello Mushroom & White Wine Stew

Vegan Mushroom Stew

It’s almost wintertime here in New England, with temp’s dropping into the mid 20’s and lower when the sun goes down. In other words, it’s absolutely freezing. 🥶 Can you relate? If so, add this recipe to your list of dinners you need to cook ASAP. It’s soul-warming and insanely delicious. It’s a surefire dinner to cozy up with on the sofa in front of a funny movie on the coldest evenings. Bonus if you can light a fire in the fireplace too!

Unforgettable Taste

All of our taste-testers agreed that this stew tastes best when it’s made with white wine. We used a few varieties when testing it, but this vegan Sauvignon Blanc was our absolute favorite. You can use any of your go-to dry whites, or a bold red wine as an alternative!

Mouth-Watering Flavors

We used dried herbs and fresh herbs in this stew and found the taste to be perfectly balanced. It’s so flavorful you won’t be able to resist helping yourself to seconds! The potatoes, carrots and portobello mushrooms taste perfectly moist and crunchy when you allow the slow cooker to simmer on low for 4 hours.

Serve With The BEST Wine

Like I mentioned earlier, our favorite wine in this stew was Loveblock Sauvignon Blanc, which you can get here. We also served this stew with an accompanying white. Find all the best vegan wines to serve in our Holiday Wine Guide here. There’s one for this stew and every other occasion too! 😋

Pin For Later

Don’t forget to save this recipe! It’s a keeper. Send it to your friends and family too! Why not share the recipe love, ya know? We all gotta make it through another winter, may as well stock up on all the comfort food we can! 😉 Oh, and if you’d like to serve a salad with it, I suggest this vegan ceaser salad. It’s phenomenal!
