Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil.

While dried mushrooms hydrate, cut cremini mushrooms into 1/4" slices.Mince parsley, stems and leaves.Separate ciabatta halves and halve again diagonally.Peel and mince shallot.After 5-10 minutes, strain dried mushrooms through a colander/strainer into a heat-safe mixing bowl. Reserve mushroom broth and set aside. Reserve pot.If you receive sliced dried mushrooms instead, transfer to a cutting board and coarsely chop. -
2 Roast the Cremini Mushrooms
