Info: Porcini mushrooms (Boletus Edulis) are a very popular mushroom
throughout Europe and the United States. During late spring and early summer the
porcini grows in abundance. Porcini mushrooms have a distinct flavor. The flavor
can be almost addicting. Dried porcinis are a very economical mushroom as the
flavor is very concentrated. Porcinis are graded by size, color, aroma, and
variety.
Suggested Use: Porcini are delicious in soups,
sauces, stuffings and stews. Dried Porcini can be substituted for any Mushroom
in any recipe; typically a smaller amount of Dried Porcini can be used in
recipes than other Mushrooms because of the intense flavor of the Porcini.
