Dried Porcini Mushrooms

Dried mushrooms have several advantages over fresh, because they can be stored for longer periods of time. Additionally, they are easily reconstituted and can be used in place of fresh mushrooms in most recipes. Try these Naturally Organic Dried Porcini (Boletus edulis) Mushrooms Grade AA “Premium” (16 Oz.) from “Cheflaszlo” in pasta dishes, as they carry a strong taste of musk and forest. The nice thing about porcini (which are never cheap) is that their perfume and flavour are actually enhanced with drying. In this state, you need no more than an ounce or so for most recipes. Try these in pasta sauces…they’re seductive!
