Wild Porcini Mushrooms

Dried porcini mushrooms are incredibly versatile because of their rich, meaty flavor, but fresh porcini mushrooms are a rare treat especially treasured by Italian chefs. Porcinis are one of the few wild varieties that can be eaten raw (though they’re stupendous grilled) and have two growing seasons.  They’re delicious sautéed or grilled. Frozen porcinis are a good substitute for fresh.
