Description
A straightforward recipe for cooking fresh morel mushrooms with butter and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh morel mushrooms, cleaned and halved
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small shallot, minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Clean the morel mushrooms thoroughly. Cut larger mushrooms in half lengthwise.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Add the morel mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine and let it reduce by half, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in the fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- If you cannot find fresh morels, use dried morels soaked in warm water for 30 minutes; reserve the soaking liquid for extra flavor.
- Use fresh thyme or chives instead of parsley for a different flavor profile.
