Cooks & Co Dried Porcini Mushrooms

These premium dried porcini mushrooms (also known as ceps) are sourced from France and packed in a 40g resealable jar. Known for their deep, earthy, and umami-rich profile, they are a classic cupboard staple for boosting the savory depth of Italian and French dishes.

Because drying intensifies their natural sugars and proteins, a small handful goes a long way—10g of these dried mushrooms rehydrates to roughly 30g of plump, flavorful mushrooms.

Highlights

• Ingredients: 100% Dried Porcini (Boletus Edulis) Mushrooms.

• Dietary: Suitable for vegetarians and vegans (Vegetarian Society Approved).

• Best Used For: Infusing rich flavor into risottos, pasta sauces, stews, and potato gratins.

• Bonus Tip: Don't throw away the soaking water! After rehydrating, strain the liquid through a fine mesh or paper towel to remove any grit, and use it as a deeply flavorful mushroom broth for your dish.

How to Rehydrate

To get them plump and ready for cooking, follow these quick steps:

1. Place the mushrooms in a bowl and cover them with boiling water.

2. Leave them to soak for 20 to 30 minutes (Alternatively, cover with water and microwave on high power for 3 minutes).

3. Drain, rinse lightly under cold water, and pat dry before adding them to your recipe.

4. Once rehydrated, keep any unused mushrooms refrigerated and use them within 2 days.
