I thought this was wonderful. I used some oyster mushrooms in place of the portabellos. It was excellent! I served it over fusilli with a generous scrape of parmesan. I think you could probably use any combination of mushrooms in this. Next time I'd like to try it with polenta, or pile it on some brushetta. Thanks, Chia!

This was delicious. It's a very earthy dish and great for mushroom lovers. The only things I did differently were to soak the mushrooms in very hot water (I was in a hurry and it speeds the rehydration up), and to use shallots instead of the onion. Also, when I reduced the wine, I didn't do it by how long it took but just to the point where it had nearly all evaporated. It will depend on the surface area of the pan. Very, very nice on polenta. Thank you.
