Add another 2 teaspoons of butter to a hot frying pan, add garlic and shallots and cook until soft. Add drained porcini and cook briefly. Deglaze with 150 ml (approximately 5 ounces) of soaking water. Boil over high heat and reduce by half, then stir in creme fraiche. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
