This was quite good – although I probably would only make this once in awhile due to the fat content. I discovered this recipe on another blogger’s great site. Check it out he has some really good recipes! I could not find porcini or cremini mushrooms so I substituted baby bella mushrooms and omitted the soaking in water and sautéed in butter.
