Instructions

Slice the mushrooms into thin slices. Mix with the salt. Cover bowl with the sliced mushrooms with a kitchen towel and let stand at room temperature for 24 hours.

Transfer mushrooms to a pot and add all the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and simmer uncovered, over low heat for 1 1/2 hours.
