A Grandmother's Morel Recipe ...

Post by hobiecat » April 13th, 2005, 1:19 pm

A Grandmother's Morel Recipe ...
1 Batch of Morels, halved, cleaned & soaked "a while" or overnight in salt water with a heavy plate weighing them down in the water, then rinsed well & drained at cooking time.
In a wide shallow bowl: 1 Country Egg mixed with 1/4 c. milk
In a thick paper bag: 2 c. cornmeal with 1 t. black pepper mixed in.
In a deep well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, melt bacon grease 1" deep. Get it good and hot but not Imageg.
Now dip your mushrooms in the milk and let them soak a little while your grease is heating.
Pick a handful out of the bowl and shake them a little to get off some of the liquid excess then drop them in the bag of cornmeal.
Hold your hand on the bottom of the bag so it dosn't break, and gently shake.
Add more mushrooms, shaking gently after each addition. When they are all coated very well, start laying them in a single layer in the hot skillet.
Try to only turn them once, that way your coating stays on better.
Don't salt, bacon grease is salty. When golden, drain on paper.

Being lazy, I gently dump the coated morels in a colander set in a larger bowl. This lets the loose stuff fall off and if you need to touch up any bare spots your coating is right there.

My husband's family uses cracker crumbs and they made a production line out of it for extra family fun. It truly doesn't get any better than this, and if there aren't Morels in Heaven, I'm not sure I want to go there!

A most revealing post Hobie.....
My husband's family uses cracker crumbs
That comment sure answers some questions I had 'bout you. How long you and your husband been married? Image

Where shall I start with this "recipe"? WTF is a "country" egg....do you mean OPEN country egg? Image
All bacon grease does is make your mushrooms taste like bacon, it ruins the flavor of the mushrooms.
Cornmeal? WTF??? Image Nasty! Cracker crumbs, specifically Club Crackers, is the only way to go and then fry in butter. NOT margarine, the REAL stuff. You boys need some he'p. Image

Just once I'd like you to actually post a worthwhile recipe though. Hobbs was most helpful in the mushroom forum. Image
