Sautéed with wine and placed on some goat cheese with puff pastry to bake. WONDERFUL. I hate goat cheese, and made the woman at the store promise it would not taste like a billy goat smells if i tried this. it didn't. For those who want to sub, I would think one of the boursins for cooking could be used or any fresh cheese. I added some fennel seeds into it and a little herbes de provence. From Bon Appetit. Don't let the list of directions scare you, its just very detailed down to the minutes. Prep time does not include soaking time for dried mushrooms. Prep time does include cooking mushroom mixture
Ingredients:

3 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
