Morels: The honeycomb treasures of spring 🍄🌲
Morchella species — nutty, meaty, and worth every muddy knee.
Always cook thoroughly (never raw). False morels look similar but are toxic — know the difference!
Morel cream sauce perfect for steak!
What you need:
• 1 cup fresh morels (or ½ cup dried, rehydrated)
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 shallot (or ½ small onion), finely diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ½ cup beef broth
• ½ cup heavy cream
• Splash of brandy, cognac, or white wine (optional but amazing)
• Salt & pepper
• Fresh thyme (optional)
How to:
1. In the same pan, reduce heat to medium and add 2 tbsp butter.
2. Add shallot and cook until soft (1–2 minutes).
3. Add garlic and morels; sauté 3–5 minutes.
4. Add the splash of brandy/wine and reduce until nearly gone.
5. Pour in beef broth (and optionally some of the morel soaking liquid, filtered).
6. Simmer 2–3 minutes.
7. Add heavy cream and cook until thick enough to coat a spoon.
8. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme if using.
