Method

Prepare

Steep the dried porcini in the warm water for about 20 minutes, agitating them a bit to dislodge any sand, letting it sink to the bottom. Lift out the reconstituted mushrooms and pour the soaking liquid through a sieve lined with a coffee filter into a container to remove any sand. Finely chop the mushrooms and set them and the liquid aside.
