Advice

You can use frozen or dried mushrooms instead of fresh ones (you'll need 5–6 times less dried than fresh). Frozen mushrooms can be thawed in any convenient way (e.g., microwave – follow your appliance’s manual) and drained, or used without defrosting if the recipe can handle the extra liquid. Dried mushrooms should be thoroughly rinsed and soaked in cold water for at least 2–3 hours since they aren't washed before drying.

Step 1
Choose small fresh porcini mushrooms. Any fat content sour cream will work (I used 20%). Let the sour cream sit at room temperature beforehand so it doesn’t separate in the sauce.
Step 2
Clean the mushrooms from any forest debris, check for worms, and cut into small pieces. Rinse in cold water several times.

Step 3
Place the cleaned mushrooms in a pot, pour in clean water, and bring to a boil. Boil for 15 minutes. Skim off any foam that appears.
Step 4
Drain the boiled mushrooms in a colander and rinse again with cold water. Let all water drain completely.
Step 5
Peel the onion, rinse in cold water, and finely chop it.
