For Christmas my father sent me a lot of wild porcini dry mushrooms that he picked and dried by himself. This is my first attempt to create a dish from them. This is a Classical Russian dish that people have been cooking for centuries. Classically the dish is prepared in an individual ceramic pots with a dough lid. I made my dish family style in a cast iron pot and a foil lid. You can use any pot that can go in an oven.
