This sophisticated three-mushroom dressing with prosciutto brings a deep, earthy flavour to any roast dinner. Combining the intense aroma of dried porcini with fresh button and shiitake mushrooms, the dish is elevated by the addition of fragrant rosemary and crisp, salty prosciutto. It is a wonderfully textured side, using rustic rosemary bread to soak up a rich savoury broth, creating a moist interior and a beautifully golden, crunchy topping.
As a high-protein accompaniment, this dressing is perfect for those looking for a more substantial side dish during the festive season or for a special Sunday lunch. The recipe can be partially prepared a day in advance, making it an excellent choice for stress-free entertaining. Serve it alongside roast chicken or turkey, perhaps with a dollop of soured cream or extra fresh herbs to brighten the rich, woodland flavours.

How to make Three-Mushroom Dressing with Prosciutto
Preheat oven to 177°C. Spread bread cubes in single layer on large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned and slightly crisp, about 18 minutes. Cool.
Combine porcini mushrooms and 475ml boiling water in medium bowl; let stand until mushrooms are soft, about 30 minutes. Strain, reserving soaking liquid. Chop mushrooms.

Melt butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add button mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and onion to skillet and sauté until soft and brown, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, rosemary, and porcini mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add wine and boil until almost all liquid evaporates, about 4 minutes. Transfer to bowl.
DO AHEAD: Bread cubes, mushroom soaking liquid, prosciutto, and mushroom mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and store bread cubes at room temperature. Cover mushroom soaking liquid, prosciutto, and mushroom mixture separately and chill.
