Préparation
Rehydrate the Porcini Mushrooms
Pour boiling water over the dried porcini mushrooms and let them steep for about 2 hours covered. Carefully strain the liquid using a fine sieve or coffee filter, then reduce it until you have a concentrated juice. Coarsely chop the rehydrated porcini mushrooms.
Prepare the Tartlet Bases
Line the molds with shortcrust pastry. Bake the bases blind for 10 minutes at 180 °C, then let them cool.
Make the Sautéed Porcini
Chop the shallots. Mince the garlic and parsley separately. In a pan, sauté the shallots in a bit of fat. Add the chopped porcini and sauté until lightly colored. Reserve half of this mixture, then add the garlic, parsley, and reduced porcini juice to the rest.
Prepare the Creamy Mixture
Add the milk and cream to the pan with the other half of the porcini. Bring to a boil once, then blend the mixture finely. Incorporate the egg yolks and blend again to achieve a smooth mixture.
Bake the Tartlets
Pour the creamy porcini mixture into the tartlet bases. Bake for 8 minutes at 160 °C, until the filling is set but still creamy.
Finishing and Plating
Place the reserved sautéed porcini on top of each tartlet. Serve hot, accompanied by a seasonal salad for freshness and balance.
Astuce(s) du Chef Plantin
To enhance the flavor of the porcini mushrooms, add a light drizzle of walnut oil just before serving. This final touch elevates the woody aromas and provides a lovely finish on the palate.
