Method
Mushroom Preparation
- 1
Rehydrate the Mushrooms
In a medium bowl, combine the dried porcini mushrooms and water. Let them soak for about 30 minutes, or until they are soft and fully rehydrated. Once done, remove the mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid.

Chop the Mushrooms
After rehydrating, chop the porcini mushrooms into small pieces. Make sure to strain the soaking liquid through a fine mesh sieve to remove any sediment, and set it aside for later use.

Sauté Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and fresh thyme leaves, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the Mushrooms
Stir in the chopped porcini mushrooms and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, allowing them to brown slightly and release their flavors.

Deglaze the Pan
Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce by half, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

Add Broth and Cream
Once the wine has reduced, add the reserved mushroom soaking liquid, vegetable broth, and heavy cream. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Season the Sauce
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving for a burst of freshness.
