Instructions
Preparing the roasted potatoes:
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
Prepare the potatoes: wash the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized pieces (quarters or cubes). Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Roast the potatoes: spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Preparing the mushroom stew:
Prepare the mushrooms: clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or a brush to remove dirt. Cut them into pieces if needed.
Cook the vegetables: heat the olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
Add the garlic and mushrooms, and cook until they are slightly golden and their water has evaporated (about 8 minutes).
Add the liquids: sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and mix well.
Pour in the red wine (if using) and let it reduce for 2 minutes.
Add the vegetable broth, thyme, savory, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
Simmer the stew: cover and let simmer over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the stew thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Finishing and serving
Place the roasted potatoes in shallow bowls or plates.
Pour the mushroom stew over or alongside the potatoes.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Tips
Variations: Add roasted root vegetables like parsnips or carrots for extra depth, or chestnuts for a festive touch.
Storage: The stew can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently before serving.
