Best served warm, these crostini will have your guests demanding more. You’ll see that the vin santo gives the mushrooms a very special flavour, and the butter gives them a melt in the mouth texture.

Prep time: 10 mins | Total time: 45 mins | Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 150g (5 oz) white mushrooms
  • A handful of dried porcini mushrooms
  • Parsley (or nipitella/mentuccia/wild mint if you can get it)
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped finely
  • Bread and butter (farmhouse bread is best, but baguette is fine too)

Directions

  • Put the porcini to soak in a cupful of hot water for at least half an hour. Check for any sand and dirt. Chop finely.
  • Clean the white mushrooms and chop them finely.
  • Stir-fry in hot olive oil with the garlic and herbs. Add the chopped porcini mushrooms  towards the end.
  • Serve warm on buttered crostini (or top the buttered crostini and warm in the oven for a few minutes).
