SAUTÉED MORELS

Morels are the most prized mushroom of the spring forage, earthy, meaty, and available fresh at specialty grocers for a brief window each May. Rich and intense, a few per person is plenty, and our Butter and Mushroom & Sage EVOOs make the most of every one. Serve as a side. 

INGREDIENTS:

  • 250g (3 cups, loose) fresh morels, halved lengthwise
  • 2 tbsp Butter EVOO
  • 2 tbsp Mushroom & Sage EVOO
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Optional: Thyme EVOO to finish

DIRECTIONS:

Gently brush or shake any debris from the morels. Do not wash. Heat a wide skillet or cast iron pan on medium-high until hot. Add Butter and Mushroom & Sage EVOOs. When shimmering, add morels in a single layer. Do not crowd the pan. Cook undisturbed for 2 minutes until golden on one side. Turn and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Season with sea salt. Finish with a drizzle of Thyme EVOO if desired. Serve immediately.
