Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 pt Chicken stock
1/2 oz Dried Cepes
Salt & pepper to taste
-----OPTIONAL-----
1 tb Dry Madeira

Put stock - which should be home made and reasonably
clear, and not oversalted, in a saucepan and start
heating gently while you wash the dried cepes (porcini
in Italian) in a sieve. Add the cepes to the stock and
when boiling, turn down to a very gentle simmer. Don't
cover, and allow to simmer until reduced to 2/3
volume. Strain and allow to settle, as the cepes
always give out a little sand, no matter how carefully
you wash them. When ready to serve, decant from the
sediment, reheat and season. Add the optional madeira
and serve.
