How to use dehydrated mushrooms

Dried mushrooms are culinary gems that have gone through a dehydration process, carefully removing their water content. This method preserves their flavor, aroma and nutrients in a concentrated way, allowing you to enjoy the essence of mushrooms in any season.

What they are, how they are rehydrated and how to preserve them

Hydration of dried mushrooms offers two effective methods to revitalize their culinary essence. Rapid boiling, a perfect solution for rushed days, restores the volume of the mushrooms in just one minute, sometimes even making them appear larger than they originally were. On the other hand, prolonged soaking offers a more leisurely and contemplative alternative. Submerging mushrooms in a jar full of water for an hour allows for gradual absorption of the liquid, returning them to their original shape and sometimes expanding them beyond their original size. These simple methods highlight the versatility of dried mushrooms and provide cooks with options tailored to their needs and pace of life.

How to rehydrate dried mushrooms

Rehydrating dehydrated mushrooms is a procedure accessible to everyone, regardless of the type of edible mushroom we choose. Although the method is consistent, the duration may vary depending on the desired texture or the type of stew we plan to prepare. The first step is essential and goes further: thorough cleaning. Before subjecting mushrooms to dehydration, make sure they are properly cleaned. Although they are supposed to have been previously cleaned, especially with wild varieties, it is common for traces of dirt or grit to remain. Rinse them gently in a bowl of cold water. Discard the dirty water and clean the bowl before continuing.

Hydration of mushrooms

To hydrate, we add water, the amount to taste, recommending at least 1 liter per 100 grams of mushrooms. The more water, the more leftover liquid we will have, although it will be more diluted, allowing us to adjust to personal preferences and the specific recipe. This process, similar to hydrating legumes, requires 12 hours, ideally overnight, to achieve complete rehydration.

Rehydration and temperature methods

The choice between warm or warm water for rehydrating dried mushrooms is flexible, but warm water is recommended to speed up the process. We heat water in a proportion of 4 parts water to 1 part mushrooms, bringing it to a boil and then turning off the heat. The dehydrated mushrooms are immersed in hot water, left uncovered and infused.

Alternatively, they can be rehydrated by steam or incorporated directly into stews, depending on the dish we are preparing.

Adequate duration of rehydration

If we cannot soak them overnight, as our grandmothers did with legumes, the rehydration time will range between 25 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the desired firmness or softness of the edible mushrooms.

At the end of this process, it is crucial to drain the mushrooms and allow them to rest for a few minutes. You will notice that they have increased significantly in size. Once drained, they are ready to be used in the same way as fresh mushrooms.

Adding salt

Since mushrooms do not contain salt, rehydration is the ideal time to add the desired amount. It is suggested to incorporate it during this process, since the mushrooms absorb it easily.

In addition to using water, rehydration can be done with other liquids such as milk, wine, cava, liqueurs, offering opportunities to experiment with unique textures and flavors.

Take advantage of cooking water

Do not underestimate the value of the water or liquid resulting from the rehydration of dehydrated mushrooms and boletus. In addition to providing multiple nutrients, it provides exceptional flavor to dishes. Don't throw it away and get the most out of it in your culinary creations!

Equivalence between dried mushrooms and fresh mushrooms

Why use dehydrated mushrooms

Long useful life
Dehydrated mushrooms have a much longer shelf life compared to fresh mushrooms, and you can enjoy them for up to 2-3 years. This allows for prolonged storage without losing quality or flavor, offering a convenient option for inclusion in various recipes throughout the year.
Concentration of flavors
The dehydration process eliminates the water content of the mushrooms, concentrating their flavors and aromas. As a result, dried mushrooms provide a more intense and robust flavor to the dishes in which they are used.
Versatile in the kitchen
Dehydrated mushrooms are extremely versatile in the kitchen. They can be added to a variety of recipes, such as soups, stews, sauces, risottos, or even salads, providing a unique and enriching dining experience.
Excellent nutritional contribution
Despite dehydration, mushrooms retain many of their essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They are a rich source of nutrients, which contributes to a balanced and healthy diet.
Easy storage
Dehydrated mushrooms take up less space than fresh mushrooms and do not require refrigeration. This makes it easy to store in the pantry, ensuring it is available for use at any time.
Umami flavor
Mushrooms, in general, are known for their umami flavor, a fifth flavor that is described as savory and delicious. Dehydrated mushrooms intensify this flavor, improving the taste quality of the dishes in which they are used.
Economical and accessible
Being lighter and more compact than fresh mushrooms, dried mushrooms are usually cheaper and more accessible. This makes them an attractive option for those looking for quality ingredients at reasonable prices.
