A Wicked Mushroom This Way Comes…

Fresh Arkansas Morels

Lord have mercy them sure is some fancy lookin’ French mushrooms, I exclaimed when a friend brought me these fresh Morels from his farm near Fayetteville, Arkansas!

Having never seen an uncooked Morel I had no idea what to do with them until I tried three variations with Chicken. And WOW,- Totally Yummy!! They added a velvety rich gamey quality to a simple mixed vegetable sauté. Next, I tried a less eventful Chicken stir-fry and they didn’t pair well with the tangy soy sauce. Finally, I sliced the prettiest big ones in Julienne strips and made a miraculous Chicken variation on a Turkey Divan. It worked. Clearly, here’s a food memory to dine for!
