Morels (Morchella species) are among the most prized of wild mushrooms. Also known as merkel, dry land fish, sponge mushroom morels are the rare prize of the spring. Morels add flavor and aroma to any type of food. This unique mushroom can be eaten whole or used to flavor almost any dish. No sauce is too heavy to smoother its fantastic subtle flavor. Drying is an old method of preserving wild mushrooms to enjoy their haunting and elusive flavor year-round.
Once softened, the mushrooms may be sliced, chopped, or left whole, according to your recipe. Add reconstituted mushrooms at the beginning of cooking. This allows their highly concentrated flavors to permeate the entire dish. The best method is to reconstitute them in warm water for 20 to 30 minutes, saving the water for sauces and gravies. Especially good for wild mushroom soups and sauces for wild game.
Mushrooms are an excellent, natural part of a healthy diet. Dried mushrooms contain around 20% protein and are also high in riboflavin. They are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol, low in calories while being a good source of niacin (vitamin B3) and pantothenate (vitamin B5).
