    Toccu de funzi,
    Sugo di funghi,
    Mushroom sauce

    Ariel's personal variation.
    To serve 4:

  • 2 cups fresh Porcini (Boletus) mushrooms
  • A diced shallot
  • 1 garlic clove
  • olive oil
  • thym and rosemary
  • salt and pepper
    Clean and rinse all mushrooms and pat dry. Heat a pan with extra virgin olive oil and saute chopped shallot and garlic; add the chopped mushrooms and cook vigorously at high heat.
    Add tomato sauce, thym and a few rosemary; cook at a low fire for 20-30 minutes; it should have a nice maroon colour. Season with salt and pepper.
    You may deep freeze the mushroom sauce.
