Beef stew (Beef Bourguignon) is a famous French classic. It was celebrated by Julia Child, according to her recipe I also made it. And it really is not so famous for no reason! Still, I wanted to try the meatless version of that famous stew… and it turned out great! The richness of taste is preserved thanks to dried porcini and roasted mushrooms, and of course butter!
