Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the porcini stems from their caps. Shave the dirt from the stems with a small, sharp knife until you reach the clean flesh. Wipe the caps clean using a damp paper towel. Working in two batches, place the stems in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped.

  2. Step 2

    Brush ½ teaspoon of olive oil on the bottom of an 8-by-11-inch shallow baking dish. Arrange the potatoes in the dish in a slightly overlapping layer. Sprinkle 1 clove of garlic evenly over the potatoes and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Place the stems in an even layer over the potatoes.

  3. Step 3

    Sprinkle the remaining garlic and the oregano evenly over the stems. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Arrange the caps over the stems, season with ½ teaspoon of salt and pepper and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

  4. Step 4

    Bake for 20 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil and continue baking until the porcini and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a small knife, about 30 minutes longer. Sprinkle the parsley over the top and serve immediately.

Fast and easy and a surprisingly wonderful flavour. I was worried this would be a waste of fresh porcini but it was great.

I didn't have any fresh oregano but was generous with the parsley. My caps weren 't as nice as I might have hoped so I sliced them thickly and put them on top of the chopped stems. It was great.
