Morel
mushroom recipe
Roasted
Asparagus and Morels with Shallot Butter
1.5 Ib (750 g) thin asparagus spears, tough ends removed
.25 lb (125 g) fresh or rehydrated morel mushrooms
4 tablespoons (2 oz/60 g) unsalted butter
2 shallots, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Preparation:
Look for thin asparagus spears for this dish; they are generally
more tender, and the stalks do not require peeling before cooking
Preheat the oven to 450°F (23O°C)
Place the asparagus on a rimmed baking sheet large enough to hold
them in a single layer. Brush the morels clean. If there is a lot
of gritt or other dirt lodged in their honeycomblike surface, you
may need to dunk them briefly in cold water to free it; then pat
dry with paper towels. If the morels are large, cut them crosswise
into rings .25 inch (6 mm) wide. Leave small ones whole. Add the
mushrooms to the baking sheet holding the asparagus. In a small
saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the shallots and sauté
for 1 minute to release their flavor. Drizzle the shallot butter
evenly over the asparagus and morels. Scatter the tarragon over
the top and season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, toss
the asparagus and morels in the butter and tarragon until evenly
coated, then spread them into a single layer again.
Roast until the asparagus is lightly browned but
still crisp and the morels are dark brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer
the asparagus and morels to a serving platter a drizzle any pan
juices over the top. Serve at once.

Chicken
Focaccia with Morel Mushroom Cream Sauce
A basic sauce especially designed for dried morel
mushrooms, although fresh Morel mushrooms may be used. Preparation
time is short, since the dried caps are rehydrated in the cooking
process. Excellent over pasta, chicken breasts, veal, and hot buttered
toast.
Sauce
2 ounces dried morel mushrooms, or 1/2 pound fresh morel mushrooms
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons water or more
1 cup half and half cream
Salt to taste
Pinch of pepper
1/4 cup chicken stock
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter and
add the water. Add the mushrooms and cook slowly (for about 3 minutes)
until the caps are soft. Add more water if needed. Add the half
and half cream, salt, and white pepper. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.
Add chicken stock and slowly stir into the sauce. Cook and stir
5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Chicken
Pound flat one large chicken breast. Pan fry breast and add seasoning
to taste.
Cut Focaccia bread in half and cover with butter and garlic salt.
Lightly toast bread, add cooked chicken breast on top, cover with
sauce, and serve
Ingredients:
1/2 pound Pacific Rim morel mushrooms
1 pound shelling peas
salt to taste
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons minced green onion
1 fresh thyme sprig
freshly-ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons Sherry
1 dash soy sauce
1/2 cup whipping cream
4 salmon filets - diagonally sliced
1 tablespoon mild olive or peanut oil
Directions:
Slice the morels in half lengthwise and brush or
shake off any debris; wash them only if absolutely necessary, and
drain thoroughly.
Remove the peas from the pods. Blanch the peas
in lightly salted water until they're crisp-tender and rinse them
with cold water to stop the cooking.
Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high
heat and add the morel mushrooms. Cook the morels for about 3 to
4 minutes, then add the green onion, thyme sprig and a dash of salt
and pepper.
When the mushrooms begin to release their liquid,
add the wine and soy sauce and cook until nearly dry, 1 minute.
Add the cream and peas, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Meanwhile, season the salmon lightly with salt
and pepper and heat the oil in another skillet (preferably nonstick).
Cook the salmon over high heat until nicely browned and a skewer
slides in easily, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Transfer the salmon to a serving dish or individual
plates. Correct the seasoning of the morel mushroom-pea mixture
and spoon it around the salmon. Garnish with more fresh thyme if
desired.

Oyster-Mushroom
Seafood Stir-Fry
Ingredients
8 medium uncooked prawns (shelled and deveined)
125g squid (calamari) ring bodies (cleaned and honeycombed)
8 baby octopus (cleaned)
155g scallops
250g organic pacific rim organic oyster mushrooms
6 spring onions, chopped
freshly ground black pepper
Chilli & Coraiander Marinade
3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
2 cloves garlic (crushed)
1/3 cup or 90mL worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup or 90mL soy sauce
2 tablespoons of sweet chilli sauce
Directions
1 To make marinade, combine coriander, garlic and worcestershire,
soy and chilli sauces in a bowl. Add prawns, squid, octopus and
scallops. Toss to combine. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator
for about 3 hours, or longer depending how powerful you want the
mariande flavours.
2 Drain the assorted seafood and keep the marinade.
3 Heat oil in a wok over a high heat. Add seafood.
Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add oyster mushrooms, spring onions and
3 tablespoons reserved marinade. Stir-fry for 2 minutes longer or
until seafood is cooked. Note: In general, the seafood will cook
quickly in the wok.
4 Season to taste with black pepper, add garnish
and enjoy!
Tip: To honeycomb squids, you simply make a single
cut down the length of the body and then open it out. Using a sharp
knife, cut parallel lines down the length of the squid, taking care
not to cut completely through the flesh. After this, make more cuts
in the opposite direction to form a diamond pattern - honeycombing
made easy!
