Trader Joe's frozen Porcini mushrooms

[Vegankit]

I bought a bag of Trader Joe's frozen Porcini mushrooms today. What would you do with it? I'm looking for inspiration.

Thanks Vic. I was hoping for something to inspire me. My fall back is to use it in a pasta sauce and use that as topper over baked potatoes. Or I might chop it up and add it to a water stir fry of fresh veggies and some spices.

I made a white bean and mushroom soup with cauliflower soup about a month ago.

Might go good in soups or stews.

That soup sounds great - I have a head of cauliflower in the fridge - do you have a recipe?

I’d love the recipe, too.

A good mushroom risotto might be nice. I’ve done a mushroom bolognese with porcinis, but it wasn’t worth repeating.

Lyndzie Porchini Mushroom risotto sounds like a classic Italian dish. Sadly I can't eat rice, but I think it would be wonderful to use in a pilaf with quinoa.

I defrosted some and chopped them up along with some baby portobello mushrooms to make a mushroom sage gravy to serve over potatoes. I'm not sure if it added anything "extra" to the flavor - if it did it was so mild we didn't notice.
