2 cups rehydrated dried lobster mushrooms (soaked in warm water for 15-20 mins, drained)*
1/2 cup carrots, chopped
1/2 cup onions, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
2 TBS cooking oil
2 TBS unsalted butter
2 1/2 TBS tomato paste
3 1/2 TBS flour
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Few sprigs fresh thyme
Directions
In a large pot heat butter and oil on medium. Add carrots, onions, celery and cook until they soften, around 4-5 mins. Add shallot and garlic. Cook for about 2 mins.
Add flour and cook until floury taste is gone (about 1-2 minutes). Continue stirring vigorously the entire time the flour is cooking. This acts a thickening agent (roux). Add tomato paste and stir well.
Add white wine to de-glaze.
Add softened lobster mushrooms, broth, cream, bay leaf, and salt/ pepper to taste. Bring to a soft boil then reduce to simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
Turn off heat and use an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, pour into regular blender after cooling a bit, then return to pot to re-heat before serving. Serve topped with fresh thyme and/ or some pieces sautéed re-hydrated lobster mushroom.
*soaking water can be discarded or used as a natural dye/ pigment!
