Beef Stew with Dried and Fresh Mushrooms

TÜRKÇE İÇİN TIKLAYIN

Would I be exaggerating if I said this is one of the most delicious meat dishes I've ever made? According to my palate, No :)

In the original recipe there were porcini mushrooms as both dried and fresh mushrooms. Since porcinis have always very high price tags I used what i got at home which were champignons. I don't know how this would result with porcini but I can't complain about how it turned out with champignons

I'd recommend you to stick with the recipe and use both fresh and dried mushrooms. (Some might think to exclude dried mushrooms since there are fresh ones already) You will see that they increase the flavour of the dish very much

By the way.. I won't be much around from this weekend. We have 2 friends coming from Istanbul with their 1.5 years old and also another friend from around here. For the first time in our lives we will be going around with caravan on a 5 days trip. We are quite excited and hopeful about it. That being said, I won't be able to publish new recipes for the time being or reply your comments if there may be any.

See you soon...
