150g de cogumelos shitake frescos
150g de cogumelos portobello frescos
150g de cogumelos cremini (ou porcini) frescos
1 colher (sopa) de azeite
100g mais 1 colher (sopa) de manteiga sem sal
1 xicara de cebola picada
1 cenoura picada
1 ramo de tomilho mais 1 colher (cha) prig fresh thyme plus 1 teaspoon de folhas moidas
sal Kosher (o sal kosher tem uma grande capacidade de absorção de líquidos, seu cristal é 5 vezes maior que o sal de cozinha comum) ou sal comum a gosto
Pimenta do reino moida na hora
2 xicaras de alho poro picadas
1/4 de xicara de farinha de trigo
1 xicara de vinho branco seco
1 xicara de half-and-half (ver receita a baixo)
1 xicara de creme de leite
1/2 xicara de salsinha picada
Limpe os cogumelos com uma toalha de papel. Não os lave! ( eu particularmente prefiro lavar com água mesmo). Separe os cabinho e retire qualquer parte ruim, e pique talos grosseiramente. Fatie as copas do cogumelo (o chapeu) 1/4-de polegada de espessura e se forem grandes, corte-os em pedaços do tamanha de uma mordida (que caibam na boca. Reserve.
To make the stock, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large pot. Add the chopped mushroom stems, the onion, carrot, the sprig of thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Add 6 cups water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Strain, reserving the liquid. You should have about 4 1/2 cups of stock. If not, add some water.
Meanwhile, in another large pot, heat the remaining 1/4 pound of butter and add the leeks. Cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until the leeks begin to brown. Add the sliced mushroom caps and cook for 10 minutes, or until they are browned and tender. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the white wine and stir for another minute, scraping the bottom of the pot. Add the mushroom stock, minced thyme leaves, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the half-and-half, cream, and parsley, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and heat through but do not boil. Serve hot.
