Porcini Mushrooms are delicious when fresh, clean them well and rinse under running water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes they are still full of mud, in this case clean them better you can and leave in a bath of water and marine salt for few minutes, after this rinse well under running water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This recipe  is truly simple  and requires the natural companion for mushrooms dishes: garlic and parsley. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chop them small.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put three spoons of extra virgin olive oil and two spoons of butter in to a  pan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fry the garlic and parsley in it. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As they fade add a bunch of pine-cones.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fry just one minute.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use a colander to drip of the water from the mushrooms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put the mushrooms in the soffritto.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stir well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add two-three pinches of marine salt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stir with kindness three-four minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cover with a lid and leave cooking, at low fire, for five minutes, do not open but you can move the pan on the fire handling it (this to avoid the mushrooms to stick on the bottom of the pan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Open the lid: the volume reduced and some water has been released from the mushrooms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stir well, raise the fire high.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see there is sauce formed: check the salinity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add a couple of laurel leaves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add half glass of white wine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stir well. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check again the salinity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Serve as main course with fresh warm bread.
