There is still a little bit of a chill in the air, but by the end of the day it can be 70 degrees here in New York. It is hard to figure out what to cook. We want to eat lighter, but my family and I are not ready for salads for dinner. Mushroom Bourguignon has a rich flavor, but it is light because it is meatless.
Red wine can really add complexity to a simple dish.
With all the fresh mushrooms sprouting up in market place give this quick and easy bourguignon a try.
