water for 30 minutes. Lift out the softened mushrooms, leaving any grit behind,

and squeeze the excess liquid out of them.

for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until some of the wine evaporates.

and mix in. Add the water and stir to combine.

 

Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours, or until the sauce is thick and savory.

AuthorNote: Wild mushrooms abound in the mountains of northern Greece, and like

everywhere else in the world where wild mushrooms grow, they make their seasonal

appearance in stewpots throughout the region. Much to the surprise of many

nonresidents, pasta is very common in Greece, too.
