Method.
In a small saucepan add the white wine, porcini mushroom, one shallot and 1/3 cup water. Leave to simmer for 15 minutes.
In a large frypan melt the margarine, then gently saute the remaining shallots for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes over a medium heat until there isn’t any liquid in the pan.
