Can you freeze the bourguigion
Hi AnneMarie, The stock is from the boiling water that you use to cook the mushrooms in step 1. Hope this helps! Thanks, Grace
Recipe mentions stock but not in the ingredients list, how much is needed?
Good spot! Thanks Trish. Porcini Mushrooms now added into the ingredients list.
The method mentions porcini mushrooms but there are none listed in the ingredients.
