Infuse flavor into dry-mushroom broth

Specifically porcini powder, may occasionally add other dried mushrooms.

Epicurious simmers dry porcini uncovered one hour; NYT just 30min. Both include veg which I won't. This broth should be as concentrated in flavor as practical for use as seasoning not soup.

I use it in mushroom paté. Can't add porcini powder as is to paté due to grit. (Beware of ingredient prices too good to be true).

Best Answer

Porcini is a fairly strong flavor. I can't imagine much of a difference in simmering 3o minutes or an hour. I would start with whole, good quality (there is some variation) dehydrated porcini. Soak or simmer. Then, I would squeeze out the rehydrated porcini. Strain the soaking water through a coffee filter to remove grit. Put porcini and filtered soaking water into a high speed blender. Blend. Then strain and add to your pate. Just know that porcini will be the dominant flavor of the end product, but maybe that is what you are going for.
