Dried Morel Mushrooms image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 3

morel, freshly picked
1 gallon water, cold
1 cup salt

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.
