Mushroom Bourguignon (the One That Makes Vegetarians Smug)

There is a particular smugness that settles over a vegetarian who has just been served a stew this good, and I say that with love because I am usually the one being smug. Mushroom bourguignon takes everything that makes the beef version sing — the wine-dark sauce, the sweet whole shallots, the slow, savoury depth — and gets there without a scrap of meat. The secret is treating mushrooms with the same respect you would give a good piece of beef: browning them hard, in batches, until they are almost crisp at the edges. That single bit of patience is the difference between a sad grey puddle and something you will want to make on purpose.
