A couple of days ago I found a great surprise in my back yard, morels! Although only a small crop of 2 specimens, its was as nice break from the constant rain and near flooding of the last few days.
After bringing them inside and giving them a quick pat dry I went to task to make a positive ID on my new found mycological gastronomical find!
After confirming that indeed I had found some tasty tasty morels, prep began.
I cut them in halves and washed them in some cold water and a bit of salt to get rid of any lingering visitors and dirt, then I pat dried them to get them ready for the main event.
The morels were sautéed in salted butter to bring out the meaty nutty flavour they are famous for.
The final result was nothing short of amazing. The warm sautéed morels melted in the mouth with delightfully meaty, buttery and nutty flavours. Definitely prime evidence for their choice status among mushrooms lovers.
