Dried Porcini Mushrooms
Did you know that to make 1 kg of dried porcini mushrooms you need 10 kg of fresh porcini mushrooms? This explains why the quantity of porcini mushrooms to be used in the preparation of sauces, creams or other dishes is very limited. Just a few grams are enough to give an intense flavour and aroma to any preparation. The collected mushrooms are cleaned, cut into slices and placed on nets in a fan oven. Drying occurs through the evaporation of the water due to the hot air that circulates in the drying environment. Dehydration must be slow and constant, the slices well spaced from each other and turned frequently. The drying process continues until the residual humidity of the mushroom reaches 12%. Dried mushrooms should contain balanced percentages of 60-65% stems to 30-35% caps. Dried mushrooms can be cooked in many ways: on pizza, to prepare crostini and sauces, as a filling for crepes or even combined with a meat sauce. A classic combination is with polenta: before using them, soak them for at least 10 minutes in hot water.
