Morel Mushrooms - 1996
Recipe courtesy of Ginny Shonk
INGREDIENTS
PREPARATION
After the "harvest" clean the morels with a VERY soft brush to remove the dirt, sand and critters. Slice the mushrooms in half from top to bottom, and trim if necessary. Soak in salt water overnight in the refrigerator.
The next day, drain well and then coat the mushrooms in this order: Dip in flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally in saltines. Fry in a deep fryer until golden brown.
**Warning** Morels only grow once a year at a number of undisclosed locations. Persuading the seasoned morel hunter to divulge prime harvest locations is difficult, if not impossible. Morel hunting is highly addictive, and has been known to cause major rifts between even the closest of friends and relatives! Happy hunting, best wishes, and many morels!
