Porcini Mushroom

The porcini mushroom is a favorite amongst chefs and known as the king of wild mushrooms, because of its intense flavor which is enhanced with a meaty, smooth texture giving it a unique, rich, earthy flavor and aroma that is more concentrated when it is dried.

Suggested Uses: Dried porcini mushrooms can be substituted for any mushroom in any recipe. Usually a smaller amount is used because of porcini's intense flavor. You can make an impressive risotto, pasta and rice dishes or create amazing sauces to pair with chops and steaks. Add rich mushroom flavor to soups, stews and stuffings. Use the reconstitution liquid in place of liquid ingredients in soups, sauces and stews.
