- 1 cup boiling water
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced

- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Soak the porcini in the boiling water until softened, about 20 minutes.
- Drain the porcini, reserving the liquid separately.

- Melt the butter in a large deep skillet.
- Add the porcini and garlic and cook over moderate heat until the garlic is golden, about 3 minutes.
- Add the rosemary and cook for 1 minute.
- Pour in half of the porcini soaking liquid and simmer until reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 5 minutes.
