dried Shitake mushrooms • dried mushrooms of your choice (Porcini, Chanterelle, Cremini etc) • boiling water • barley (I use 1 cup long-grain and 1 cup round/pearled) • vegetable oil (olive/canola) • large onions, diced • garlic, minced • rub (date honey) - you can use honey or omit this, but I find rub works best • fresh or canned button mushrooms, sliced • salt and pepper to taste • boiling water
