DRIED MOREL MUSHROOMS
These elusive tasty mushrooms are only available for hunting for a short time in the spring. When hunting - -please use a net bag such as the bag that covers your onions. The reason for this: While they are in your bag & you are moving around, the spores can shake free and fall to the ground to produce more mushrooms. Morels take 5 years to produce a nice crop in the wild.

Steps:
- Soak morels for up to 4 hours in salt water. The mushrooms are hollow, and the salt water will kill any little bugs that might be living in them.
- Drain and rinse with fresh water.
- Slice at least one side of the mushrooms.
- Lie mushrooms on a towel.
- Direct the air flow of a small fan onto the mushrooms and let dry up to 24 hours.
- The mushrooms will reduce in size drastically. When they are dry, bag them in a ziplock bag and throw them in the freezer to use later.
- Reconstituting Mushrooms:.
- Soak mushrooms in broth, wine, or water for up to 5 minutes. They will spring back to the size they were when they were picked.

Steps:
- Place halved morel mushrooms in a large bowl; cover with cold, lightly salted water. Refrigerate mushrooms for about 5 minutes to loosen any dirt; pour off salted water, rinse, and repeat twice more. Crevices of the mushrooms may harbor tiny stones or even insects. Thoroughly rinse mushrooms a final time and allow to drain on paper towels.
- Place flour in a shallow bowl.
- Heat vegetable shortening in a large skillet until very hot.
- Roll mushrooms in flour and tap off excess; gently lay mushrooms in the hot shortening.
- Pan-fry until golden brown and flour coating is crisp, 5 to 8 minutes, turning often. Drain morels on paper towels, salt to taste, and enjoy your treasures!
