Spring Rain + Morels + Italian Seasoning = YUM!




We discovered a secret patch of morels right after a nice spring rain. A simple flour breading with a little Garlic Earth Italian Garlic Seasoning is all we did and YUMMY! Thinking back, I didn't even LIKE mushrooms until about 7th grade when an old family friend from Orchard Farm fried some up. Man! That was like nothing I have ever tasted.

Preparing the Morels
Cut off bottom of stem, split morels in half lengthwise, and rinse. There will be dirt, sand and possibly little bugs. It's necessary to soak the mushrooms, too. Put morels in a bowl of salty water for at least one hour in the refrigerator (we placed a small plate on top of mushrooms to keep them from floating).

Sauteeing the Morels

Rinse them off and pat dry. Cover each one in flour and saute in a pan of melted butter or olive oil and a few shakes Garlic Earth Italian Garlic Seasoning.

Serve immediately.
