SAUTEED MOREL MUSHROOMS

Rich, nutty, earthy, lightly browned mushrooms in a light layer of butter and herbs with just the slightest tinge of lemon. The lemon juice and zest cut the richness of the mushrooms and butter, and bring the flavors together for me. Serve on a steak, over pasta with a touch of added cream, on toasts with some goat cheese, as a side dish with a bit of shaved Parmesan cheese, over sauteed asparagus, or tossed with roasted potatoes and a handful of arugula.

Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ pound morel mushrooms
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Brush mushrooms clean. Trim ends and cut mushrooms in half lengthwise.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add mushrooms, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; stir gently with a spatula to evenly coat mushrooms with the oil. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms begin to brown and soften, 4 to 5 minutes.

Morels, edible wild mushrooms that are prized for their smoky, nutty flavor, will need thorough washing, since they are riddled with nooks and crannies. The wild variety is usually available from April through June. Cultivated morels, on the other hand, are available throughout the year.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon butter
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 to 1/2 pound morels
1/4 cup Chicken Stock to Make 1 1/2 Quarts, or low-sodium canned
1 tablespoon white wine
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until soft and golden.
  • Add the morels and cook, stirring, until they begin to exude their juices, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the stock and wine and cook 2 minutes more until heated through. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Clean your morel mushrooms gently: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris from the mushrooms.
  • Soak your morel mushrooms before cooking: Soaking the mushrooms in warm water for 15-20 minutes will help to remove any remaining dirt or debris.
  • Cook your morel mushrooms over medium heat: Cooking the mushrooms over high heat will cause them to toughen.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking your morel mushrooms: Overcrowding the pan will prevent the mushrooms from cooking evenly.
  • Season your morel mushrooms to taste: Morel mushrooms have a delicate flavor, so you can season them with a variety of spices and herbs.

Conclusion:

Morel mushrooms are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are especially popular in French cuisine, where they are often used in sauces, soups, and stews. With their unique flavor and texture, morel mushrooms are sure to add a touch of elegance to any dish.
