    Clear out the dried ones before you pick fresh this spring!

    Morel Cream Sauce:

    -20 or so dried/frozen, or fresh morel halves
    -1 shallot
    -1 Tbsp butter
    -1 cup heavy cream
    -1/4 cup sherry or white wine
    -3/4 cup water
    -1 cup chicken stock
    -1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme
    -salt and pepper to taste

    Reconstitute morels with 3/4 cup warm water for 15 minutes or so. While they’re swellin’, chop the shallot and put it in a pan with butter on moderate heat. Cook till translucent, not brown a couple minutes. Add strained morels, reserve liquid. Cook for a few minutes. Deglaze pan with sherry/wine and morel liquid. Braise for a few minutes. Add heavy cream, chicken stock, S & P, thyme, reduce at least by half or more till it’s the consistency you’d like for a sauce. Check seasoning again before serving.

    That sounds so good you could drink it straight! I love mushrooms, need a sauce on everything I eat but have not been able to find a morel yet . We will save that for another thread .
