Fried Morels

I had the chance to fry up some of the morels I found this weekend...


I like to soak them in a bit of salt water to get rid of the dirt and any creatures that might be hiding inside. :)




I cut them in half, they are hollow inside.



Then dip them in an egg/milk wash and roll them in cracker crumbs...



Pan fry till golden...






The morels, baked potato, chicken piccata and salad..



They were pretty tasty! :)

Those morels are a pretty interesting looking mushroom Jeanie. The whole plate looks very delicious.

Thank you Mark!
They are strange looking, kind of like a sponge. I like them though. :)
I'd trade you for a ribeye and cornbread. lol

I love morels and several other muchrooms, especially oyster mushrooms. One of the things I most look forward to upon moving to Colorado is gathering wild foods and mushrooms are at the top of that list! Then pine nuts are next and wild raspberries... yum... In Oregon where I grew up we use to gather wild asparagus and wild artechokes too.

Hi Huey! Good to see you!
I have never tried razor clams.. I just looked them up on google. Do you find your own? They look interesting...bet they are tasty!

Hope you have great luck finding morels. I'm not having much luck down here but it's been a nice getting out for long walks.

Take care and thanks!

HillBilly my friends used to live in Iowa and said the morels they found up there were nice big ones. I wish I could find those kind here. :)
It was too dry here to make a crop this year... but I have a few dried ones I saved from last season. Hope your next season is a good one.
Thanks HillBilly :)
