Rich Mushroom Espresso
- 2 large portabello mushrooms
- 4 ounces dried porcini mushrooms
- 3 carrots, coarsely chopped
- 1 onion, coarsely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 stalks celery, coarsely chopped
- 4 whole peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups water
- 1/4 cup madiera or port
- With a spoon, scrape away the dark gills from the inside of the portabello and discard. Cut into several large pieces and then place in a 4 quart saucepan.
- Add all of the vegetables, peppercorns, salt and water. Cover and bring to a boil. Quickly reduce to a simmer and cook for 1 hour.
- Remove from heat and let "steep" for 1/2 hour.
- Place a fine strainer over another saucepan and strain broth, pushing on solids to extract as much broth as possible.
- Bring broth to a low boil, add madiera or port, lower to a simmer and reduce by about 1/3. Serve in espresso cups.
