Morels: Succulent mushrooms. Much more than just edible, they are one of the finest delicacies that you find in the fungus world. Nothing to shy away from truffles (I am talking of the noble Tuber Melanosporum of course).
How often have I heard that mushrooms are to be found during Autumn? Wrong!
Let it be known: morels (and many other mushrooms) sprout during Spring time.
They thus just make an admirable combination with another noble spring vegetable: the asparagus.
Now picture yourself a gently butter-roasted veal sweetbread with green asparagus and morels in a subtle "vin jaune" sauce.
Isn't that a depiction of a divine dish?

ReplyDeleteno estaría de mas comentar que antes de comerlas las tienes que aplicar un tratamiento térmico que elimine las hemolisinas que están en su composición o bien desecarlas. Mas que nada por no estara meando sangre una semana.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, dear Anonymous reader! Never eat a raw morel or you'll be sick! It should be cooked, always!
