Question: How do I reconstitute dried mushrooms?
Answer: Reconstituting dried mushrooms is a simple process. Just follow these simple steps:
1.Place the desired quantity of mushrooms in a bowl large enough to accommodate all of them (remember, they will reconstitute to 6 - 8 times their dry weight).
2.Cover them with warm water.
3.Let them sit in the water for about 30 minutes. They will gradually absorb moisture and "plump up".
Drain the mushrooms in a colander, making sure to reserve the liquid. Rinse the mushrooms briefly in cool water and drain again. They are now ready to use!
The reserved soaking liquid contains a great deal of mushroom flavor and makes an excellent addition to soups, stews and sauces. Just be sure to carefully decant it, allowing any sediment to remain in the container.
