Porcini Powder

I spent too much time driving from store to store today looking for porcini powder!!! After stopping at three stores, I finally decided to Google how to make porcini powder and was excited to see that it is just finely ground-dried porcini mushrooms. I grabbed a bag of dried porcini mushrooms at the grocery store and came home to make some porcini powder. Three minutes after I started, I had my elusive ingredient! Porcini powder is an amazing umami bomb!! It gives a great depth of flavor when sprinkled on beef,  pork, and chicken, and it’s also wonderful with pasta, in soups, and sprinkled on eggs, and potatoes. I saved the strained mushroom pieces to use the next time I make a soup, vegetable stock, or stew.

• 1 oz dried porcini mushrooms

How to Make Porcini Powder

Grind the dried porcini mushrooms in a food processor for 3 minutes, or until finely ground. Pour the ground mushrooms through a fine sieve into a bowl.  Side Note: Save the bigger mushroom pieces in the sieve for soups, broths, and stews.

Using a funnel, carefully pour the mushroom mixture into a spice jar with a tight-fitting lid.

Store in a cool dry place. Enjoy.
