Ingredients
- 1 lb. fresh white morel mushrooms, washed and halved
- 1 cup ap flour
- 1 teaspoon Fustini’s Garlic rub spice blend
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup- ½ cup Fustini's Sage and Wild Mushroom olive oil
Ingredients
Directions
- Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet on medium/high heat until the oil appears shimmery (about 3 minutes). While olive oil is heating, mix flour and spices in a small bowl. Dredge each morel mushroom half in flour mixture and place in hot oil. You may have to cook in batches so you don&rsquo,t overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
Recipe Note
My mom used to make these from the first pick of white morels of the season. There was nothing better than some freshly fried morels and some freshly caught brook trout for dinner in the spring. Truly a northern Michigan delicacy. Using white morel mushrooms for this recipe is ideal because of their size and meatiness.
