In a bowl, combine the dried mushrooms and pour in 6 cups of boiling water. Let them soften for 15 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and chop finely. Strain the mushroom water through a sieve.

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes until soft. Then add the finely chopped fresh and dried mushrooms and sauté, stirring, until most of the liquid evaporates. Pour in the Madeira and let it evaporate for about 2 minutes. Then sprinkle with flour and mix well.

Remove 1 cup of mushrooms with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl. Mix with parsley. Cover with foil and keep warm.
