That reminds me... which wine goes best with Morels? I'm thinking maybe a red? _________________ I am amazed by how many people harp on the need to speak and write English in this country while exhibiting a fundamental lack of skills in the areas of spelling and sentence composition.

Try this:
Get a bottle of decently fruity White Zin. Mondavi makes a good one. Take ~3Tbsp butter, 1-2 Tbsp pureed garlic Jarred works ok. Lightly sautee the garlic in the butter then add a cup or so of the wine and add some heat until it reduces down. Be generous with cracked pepper. Toss in the morels.
When you start, start some pasta ( I like tortelini but any decent pasta will do).
The pasta outght to be getting done about the time the sauce is reduced.
Add 1/2 cup or so garlic cream sauce (jarred can work here if you're not into doing it from scratch with ricotta, parmesan, butter and cream).
When it's mixed and hot add a little more wine and toss in half a dozen cooked shrimps for 1-3 people and let them get warm but not more. Pour the sauce and shrimp over the drained pasta. Drink the rest of the wine
It's simple, hard to mess up and anything that has morels, butter, garlic and wine always tastes so good. |

I will have to try that. I really love garlic sauce recipes. I'll certainly add this one to the box. _________________ I am amazed by how many people harp on the need to speak and write English in this country while exhibiting a fundamental lack of skills in the areas of spelling and sentence composition.

Speaking of wild mushrooms, my father-in-law loves fresh sulfer shells (they gotta be orange). they are OK, but not Morels. And me neighbor goes to to the northeast every year and a few years back he brought back some Shaggy Mane mushrooms and sprinkled them in his yard. Well, they grew in my yard, all over in the fall. At first i was a bit leary but after researching them, they are just as good as Morels and they last for over a month in the fall. And I don't even have to search for them.
another mushroom is the puffball. If you get them small they are great and really meaty. My grandma (and myself) like to find them about softball size and slice them, lightly flour then deepfry. Those are some great mushrooms.

Oddly enough, though I haven't tried a Morel, I have tried a sulfur shell. That was back when I worked up at a camp with some experienced outdoors folk that managed to find one one day and cooked it. That was pretty good, but I got a fair warning that there was another kind that looked similar that could be the bad kind of mushroom. |

I've never actually hunted for morels, but after doing some research on the web, I now realize I saw a bunch of them near a cache I was looking for late in May. I don't remember what cache it was, and I have over 60 logs for the second half of May, so it'd be more work than it's worth to find out where I saw the morels. Anyone who would rather go pick their own rather than go buy some is more than welcome to look up my cache logs for May--I'm fairly certain it is one of the 11 I looked for on the 30th, but it could also be one of the 21 I looked for on the 22nd. Personally, I've found cat-tails and wild asparagus to be mighty tasty, and those are a lot easier to find. _________________ There comes a time in every young boy's life when he gets an irresistible urge to seek buried treasure.--Mark Twain |

If there's anything that goes perfectly with the stuff I gave sui generis the recipe for its asparagus. If you can bend your brain a little to narrow the search, I will teach you how to not poison yourself picking mushrooms. You might die from it from the garlic and butter and the cream sauce for the shrimp pasta clogging your arteries but then you'll die with a smile.
I haven't done any of theose caches and so will go visit them and pick the most likely prospects, but help never hurts when it comes to whether you saw them walking in or at the cache or on the way to another cache. |
