Dried AA Porcini Mushrooms

Dried AA Porcini mushrooms are a type of wild mushroom from Italy. They are prized for their earthy, nutty flavor and chewy texture. They are often used in soups, stews, and sauces, as well as for flavoring pastas, risottos, and other dishes. Porcini mushrooms can be reconstituted by soaking in hot water for 15-20 minutes prior to use.

Dried porcini mushrooms are often reconstituted by soaking in warm or even boiling water until softened. Reconstituted porcini mushrooms are frequently chopped before they (and their delicious soaking liquid) are used in recipes. Porcinis are a classic addition to risotto, pasta dishes, soups and stews.

To reconstitute, place porcini mushrooms in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 6 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally. Rinse well. Note: if using soaking liquid in recipe, discard material that may settle in bottom of bowl.

Grade AA is one of the highest grades of dried mushrooms, indicating creamy white, intact slices with few (if any) blemishes and intense flavor

 Rehydrated Dried Porcinis have a firm texture similar to fresh porcinis
