Tasty Morrels
Alright now, let me tell you 'bout some great recipes for morrel mushrooms. These things are like gold in the springtime, and if you're lucky enough to find some, you better make 'em count. Here are five tasty ways to enjoy 'em:
Fried Morrel Mushrooms - This is a classic way to enjoy these babies. Just slice 'em up, dip 'em in some beaten egg, coat 'em in seasoned flour, and fry 'em up in a cast iron skillet with some bacon grease. These crispy little bites are good enough to make you wanna slap your mama.
Morrel Mushroom Gravy - This one's easy. Just sauté some chopped morrels in butter with a little onion and garlic, add some flour to make a roux, and then slowly whisk in some milk or cream to make a creamy gravy. Serve it over some biscuits, mashed potatoes, or chicken-fried steak, and you've got yourself a meal fit for a king.
Morrel Mushroom Risotto - This is a fancy-sounding dish that's actually pretty simple to make. Just sauté some chopped morrels with some shallots and garlic, then add some arborio rice and chicken broth and let it cook slowly while you stir in some grated parmesan cheese. It's creamy, earthy, and just downright delicious.
Morrel Mushroom Omelet - Start with a basic omelet, then add some sautéed morrels and a little shredded cheddar cheese. Fold it over, let the cheese melt, and then dig in. It's a great way to start your day off right.
Morrel Mushroom Pizza - This is a fun one. Start with a basic pizza crust, then top it with some sautéed morrels, caramelized onions, and some shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake it up in the oven until the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly. It's a little bit fancy, a little bit redneck, and a whole lot delicious.
