Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup boiling water

1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms

1 pound combined fresh cremini and portobello

and shiitake mushrooms

1/2 cup marsala

2 tablespoons mellow barley miso

4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

8 ounces packaged tempeh

1 large onion -- chopped

8 large garlic clove -- minced

2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme

OR 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

Salt -- to taste

 

Serve this hearty mushroom and tempeh mixture over long-grain rice, wild

rice, or kasha.

 

Pour the boiling water over the porcini and set them aside to soak for

about 30 minutes. Drain well, reserving the soaking water. Thinly slice

the mushrooms.

 

Separate the flesh mushroom caps and stems. Save the shiitake stems for

making stock; slice the caps. Slice the cremini and portobello stems and

caps separately.

 

Whisk together the marsala and miso; set aside.

 

Add 2 teaspoons of the oil to a wok over medium heat. Add the tempeh and

turn immediately to coat both sides with oil. Brown it well, then remove

from the wok and cut into strips about 1 inch long and 1/2 inch wide.

 

Pour the remaining 2 teaspoons oil into the wok over medium-high heat and

swirl it to coat the bottom and sides. Add the onion and stir-fry for 2 to

3 minutes or until translucent. Stir in the garlic, mushroom stems, thyme,

and black pepper. Continue to stir-fry, gradually adding the sliced

porcini and fresh mushroom caps, and cook until the mushroom caps appear

moist. Stir in the tempeh and marsala-miso mixture, reduce the heat, and

cook gently for several minutes. Remove from the heat and add the

parsley. Season with salt. Serve immediately
