Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a 2 ½-quart souffle dish, melt butter, uncovered at 100 percent power for 1 minute 15 seconds. Meanwhile, finely chop mushrooms in food processor. Add to melted butter, with scallions and celery leaves. Stir to coat with butter. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power for 3 minutes or until mushrooms look limp.

  2. Step 2

    Dissolve cornstarch in chicken broth. Add chicken broth mixture, cream, cumin, dill seed and dried boletus, if used, to mushrooms. Cover tightly with polyvinyl plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power for 6 minutes. Pierce plastic to release steam. Season with salt, lemon juice and hot pepper sauce. Serve hot.
