Fabi’s Minimalist Morel Recipe

This recipe is designed to highlight the natural, earthy flavor of morel mushrooms. By using minimal oil and spices, you can truly appreciate the unique taste of these forest-grown delicacies.

Ingredients:

• Fresh morel mushrooms
• 1 inch of water
• High-quality olive oil (a drizzle)
• Pinch of salt
• 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
• Pine nuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Rinse the morel mushrooms thoroughly.
2. In a pan, simmer the morels in 1 inch of water for a few minutes. Strain the water and return the morels to the pan.
3. Fry the morel mushrooms over medium heat without any oil, allowing the water to evaporate. You can gently move the pan to encourage even cooking.
4. Once the morels start to sound like they’re frying, add a drizzle of olive oil if needed.
5. Season with a pinch of salt. At this point, you can also add minced garlic for an extra flavor boost (optional).
6. Cook for another minute or two, until the morels are tender and fragrant.
7. (Optional) Garnish with pine nuts for a nutty texture.

Cooking Time:

This recipe should take about 10 minutes to complete.

Dietary Restrictions:

This recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, you can substitute butter for the olive oil. However, be mindful not to overpower the delicate taste of the morels.
• For a textural contrast, consider using chopped hazelnuts instead of pine nuts. However, to fully appreciate the morels, it’s recommended to try them on their own first.
• Make sure to cook the morels thoroughly to avoid any stomach discomfort.
