Dried Morel Mushrooms: .9 oz/25 g tube - Wine Forest Ltd.

Morchella esculenta, Origin: Montana/Idaho, U.S.A

Few ingredients are more beloved or fleetingly available than morels. Dried morels reconstitute magnificently, maintaining their shape and structure so they can be stuffed, and there are many French chefs who prefer them to fresh.  Even a small amount of dried morels rehydrated, sautéed and incorporated into a sauce brings mushroom to the entire meal.   Steaks, chops, or pasta crowned with a luxurious morel sauce can be made anytime with these in your pantry.

The small container is the equivalent of over a half a pound of fresh morels, while the larger container equals two pounds fresh. Wine Forest Dried Morels should be in every kitchen pantry.

Henry's Country Store Tip: Reserve the soaking liquid! It's literally liquid gold!! Use as an intense mushroom broth in exchange for an equivalent measure of water when cooking lentils or blanching cauliflower steaks (then sear them to perfection). Use as a broth in risotto, gravy or hearty soups. Add chopped fresh Pacific Northwest herbs and garlic, along with beef broth or drippings, then reduce for an amazing drizzle over your favorite steak and potatoes.
