delicious. thanks for the post

Dry morels works too. First you have to soak them in water for 1-2h. In addition you can use part of the water for the sauce to strengthen the flavors. But be careful, morels have a lot of dirt.

will try soon. Danke schön, Martin.

That’s usually what I do with the bath water, I heat it so that it reduces a bit, then put it in the freezer to use when cooking regular mushrooms, gives a good taste!

Also, when doing poulet aux morilles I use vin jaune instead of Porto - the way it should be! :wink:

Finally a word of caution, morels are toxic if eaten raw, you have to cook them for at least 10-15min.

Morels are becoming available (Oregon) and the season in Indiana will be here soon. Thanks for the recipe.

That was a big hit, thank you, Martin!

Although I think it would be better with madeira rather than the port that I used.

I know Alain, vin jaune is CLASSIC. But I have no vin jaune at home.

Robert, I used Madeira.
