Porcini mushrooms
are well appreciated in Europe
for their meaty texture and interesting woodsy flavor. They are intensely
aromatic, with a fine yet rich taste that is infused into dishes.
Porcini mushrooms
flavor elegantly well sauces, polenta, soup, wild game dishes, and pasta.
Soak from 15 to 30
minutes in lukewarm water before using, and save the soaking liquid for the
sauce or other dishes.
