Reconstituting Dried Mushrooms

It is not a big mystery to using dried mushrooms. In fact, reconstituting dried mushrooms is a very simple process. Follow these easy steps:

1. Place your mushrooms in a bowl large enough to accommodate all of them.

2. Cover them with warm water or wine

3. Let them sit in the liquid for 15 – 20 minutes. Then, they will absorb the moisture and “plump out.”

4. Drain the mushrooms in a colander; be sure to reserve the flavorful soaking liquid for use in stocks, soups or sauces. Strain the mushroom liquid to avoid any remaining sediment or grit.

5. Chop or slice your mushrooms and use in your favorite recipe!
