Ingredients
- 1 oz. dried porcini mushrooms (1 cup)
- 2 Tbs. olive oil
- 12 oz. shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced

2. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shiitake and porcini mushrooms, shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and sauté 5 minutes, or until mushrooms are soft. Add wine and porcini soaking liquid, and simmer 10 minutes, or until mushrooms are very tender. Add peas, and simmer 2 minutes more. Stir in parsley and 1 tsp. truffle oil.
