Sautéed Morel Mushrooms Recipes

SAUTEED MORELS

Sauteed Morels image

Morels, edible wild mushrooms that are prized for their smoky, nutty flavor, will need thorough washing, since they are riddled with nooks and crannies. The wild variety is usually available from April through June. Cultivated morels, on the other hand, are available throughout the year.

SAUTEED MOREL MUSHROOMS

Sauteed Morel Mushrooms image

Rich, nutty, earthy, lightly browned mushrooms in a light layer of butter and herbs with just the slightest tinge of lemon. The lemon juice and zest cut the richness of the mushrooms and butter, and bring the flavors together for me. Serve on a steak, over pasta with a touch of added cream, on toasts with some goat cheese, as a side dish with a bit of shaved Parmesan cheese, over sauteed asparagus, or tossed with roasted potatoes and a handful of arugula.

Ingredients

½ pound morel mushrooms
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Brush mushrooms clean. Trim ends and cut mushrooms in half lengthwise.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add mushrooms, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; stir gently with a spatula to evenly coat mushrooms with the oil. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms begin to brown and soften, 4 to 5 minutes.
Add shallots and thyme, then turn heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until shallots soften and just begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Add butter, parsley, and lemon juice; stir to melt butter and blend ingredients.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with lemon zest and additional black pepper if desired. Serve hot.

MOREL MUSHROOMS WITH BUTTER AND SHALLOTS

Morel Mushrooms with Butter and Shallots image

With little effort, these harbingers of spring can be prepped to use in a multitude of dishes. One of the tastiest is simply sauteing them with butter and shallots. It's a classic way to highlight their umami earthiness. This preparation makes a delicious accompaniment to any main dish, though it's equally wonderful tossed with pasta, stirred into risotto, served alongside eggs -- and of course, enjoyed on its own.
