Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 ounces fresh morels
3 heads spring garlic
1 bunch small ramps (about 30)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 shallot, finely minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons minced flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Place morels in a bowl of water and soak 15 minutes. Drain morels and cut off stems. Trim stems from spring garlic down to 1/2 inch, remove roots and peel off outer layer of skin. Slice garlic heads thin. Rinse ramps very well, cut off roots and peel off outer layer of skin.
  • Place 1 tablespoon butter in a medium-size skillet over low heat, add morels and cook about 2 minutes. Add crushed garlic, thyme and shallot and cook a few more minutes, until morels have softened and given up their liquid. Remove garlic and thyme, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • In another skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat, add spring garlic and a pinch of salt and cook, covered, about 5 minutes. Move garlic around so it does not brown. Add the ramps and a tablespoon of water, cover and cook 4 minutes longer, until tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add morels and their liquid to spring garlic and ramps, increase heat to medium-high, saute briefly and add another tablespoon of butter. Check seasonings, add parsley and serve.
