Wild Morel Mushrooms, Dried / 2 oz

One of the most highly prized wild mushrooms, in a convenient, shelf-stable dried form. Wild Morel Mushrooms look and taste unlike any other variety. They have tall, peaked, honeycombed caps, and are completely hollow. Their flavour is described as an earthy combination of butter and faint smoke. These characteristics are said to improve or even intensify with drying. Morel Mushrooms’ rich, earthy-buttery taste pairs beautifully with cream or white wine sauces. A perfect partner to grilled and roasted meat, poultry and seafood. Or toss with pasta or serve sautéed over risotto for a rustic, earthy vegetarian main dish. Add to a rich beef, chicken or seafood stew in the last 15 minutes of simmering to release their flavor.

Rinse mushrooms under cold running water to remove any initial debris. Dried wild mushrooms can be reconstituted by placing them in a bowl with warm water, wine or stock. Mushrooms should rehydrate in 15-20 minutes and then be strained in a colander to remove any excess liquid and debris. Once reconstituted, the wild mushrooms will yield about 6-8 times their dried weight. Mushrooms must be cooked before eating. Store in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight.
