Some of the ones my Daughter gave me yesterday, her group found 8 pounds Friday and 14 pounds yesterday!





You need:

Morels (bunches of 'em)
Butter/Margarine (3-4 tbsp's)
Frying Pan (non-stick is good...iron skillet is better)
Flour (1/2 cup or so)
Salt/Pepper to taste.

Directions:

Melt butter/margarin in frying pan (don't overheat it!!!!!)
Coat Morels in flour (either in gallon ziplock bag that has flour in
it or using a plate covered in flour)--coat the cleaned morels well with
flour.
Sautee mushrooms (gently) in butter/margarine.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Eat.

I have introduced a dozen people to the mighty morel with this tried and true recipe -- which lets the mushroom be king of the plate. All of them have become converts and a few reported a nearly religious experience! Serve the mushrooms with Fried Fish and you have a meal better than any that has ever been served to royalty.

There is no better use of a morel then when it is covered in flour and sauteed in butter and eaten. I wouldn't have them any other way!!!!

Wow.. that looks good and sounds delicious. Now, I got to find my own morel

Wow Pote, that's quite a haul!

I once had a mushy religious experience. Mine was Porcini oriented but I totally get what you mean!

Yum!!! We used to go mushroom hunting in the woods on my grandparents property. We'd come back and prepare them in a similar way and they were so yummy! Sadly there is now a freeway between the house and the woods. I can't remember the last time I've had that dish.
