Black Bean Bourguignon
In the dead of winter, sometimes what you really need is a dish that’s warm, filling, and well…French. Black Bean Bourguignon is a great way to add that rich slow-roasted taste to your plant-based palate, with the richness of a reduced wine stock, healthy protein, fat, and fiber. The alcohol will evaporate while cooking, but there’ll be just enough wine left in the bottle to share a glass with someone you love.
