Italian Dried Porcini Mushrooms

Soak the dried porcini mushrooms in warm water for around 20–30 minutes until softened, then drain and slice before adding to your recipe. Use them to create a luxurious mushroom risotto, stir into creamy pasta sauces, enhance soups and stews, or add depth to gravies and slow-cooked dishes. The strained soaking liquid can also be added to stocks and sauces for an extra boost of rich mushroom flavour.
