INGREDIENTS

- 1 ounce dried porcini, shiitake, or other dried wild mushrooms

- 1 clove garlic, minced

- 1 tablespoon margarine

- 2 cups sliced white mushrooms (8 ounces)

- 1-1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

- 2 tablespoons mushroom soaking liquid (strained to remove dirt)

- 1 tablespoon Cognac or brandy

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- Pinch of freshly ground pepper

DIRECTIONS

Soak the dried mushrooms in enough warm water to cover for

30 minutes. Drain (reserve the soaking liquid) and slice.

Saute the garlic in margarine in a medium nonstick skillet over

medium heat for 1 minute. Add the rehydrated and fresh mushrooms

and sprinkle with thyme. Saute until mushrooms release their

liquid and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.

Add 2 tablespoons of the soaking liquid, the Cognac,

salt, and pepper; continue cooking 2 minutes longer.
