In our search we were able to find 1 morel - hardly enough to do an entire recipe (or recipes) and share them with you here....and we call ourselves shroomers?!? lol it's laughable, really.....we did anticipate this year's conditions resulting in a poor yield though, and we talked to a fellow shroomer who has had about as much luck as we have :(
Isn't he lovely?
So we took our poor unfortunate little yellow morel home with us, and cooked 'im up (sauteed in butter)....served him atop toasted mini croissants.
This is actually my favorite way to eat morels, simple and delicious. They have a mild flavor, and I find their taste is often overpowered when cooked "in things", but nonetheless, they are a delicious addition to just about any sauce.
Cheers,
Hoping for better luck next year
I love the simple way way you decided to savour your only morel :)
ReplyDeleteWe didn't have any luck with the fiddleheads where we hike this year either. One week they were too small, by the next the already uncurled.
Thanks Zibi, yes this is my favorite way to eat morels.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about the lack of fiddleheads We happened upon some fiddleheads on our first foray, and they looked great, but that was about 3 weeks ago :( Too late for them now. I'll tell you where we found the them:
York Regional Forest right on the far end of Kennedy, the fiddleheads in there were crazy this year, and right there on the path too you don't have to go too deep into forest at all!!
Better luck to you next year!!
