I'm not sure how to "cube" wild mushrooms, but this was great. I used a mixture of plain white button mushrooms (sliced), and soaked dried porcini (chopped), & used the soaking water for broth. I used about 3 cups of the broth adding a 2nd and 3rd cup as liquid evaporated; the mushrooms were really tender then. Put in a whole 1 lb. piece of cod which cooked easily in 5-6 minutes. Used 3 cloves of garlic and juice from a whole lemon. Delicious!
You used commercial salted broth.
Part 2 - this dish reminds me of heather version of creamed tuna on toast that our moms prepared in the 1970’s, especially since I served the fish with peas
To counteract the “bland” comments I used 3x the garlic. Next time would consider adding oregano or thyme to the mushrooms as they simmer. Finished the sauce with a small pat of butter.
Very disappointing end product, especially after buying pricey wild mushrooms. We found this too bland.
