TOURNEDOS DE LA FORET (FILET MIGNONS WITH MORELS)
Craig Claiborne brought this fine recipe to The Times in 1983. Make it in late spring, when morels are in season, or use another kind of wild mushroom. As Claiborne and his contemporary Pierre Franey found when researching the article that accompanied this recipe, "with one exception, wild mushrooms can be successfully interchanged from recipe to recipe or mixed together." Swap in shiitakes or porcinis, chanterelles or cepes, but avoid enoki, which are too different texturally from its fellow wild mushrooms.
