Morel Recipes

Don't compare these fantastic fungi to ordinary mushrooms. Their intense, earthy flavor justifies the sky-high price.

They appear only briefly, from mid-April to mid-may, which may explain some of the allure of morels. Then there is the secretive nature of the morel hunter. But, in the end, it is the flavor of these wild mushrooms that makes them so popular. The recipes below were designed to showcase the morel's unique qualities.

If you decide you'd like to hunt morels yourself, be sure to tag along with an experienced hunter. So-called False Morels are dangerous, and can fool the untrained eye.
