Morel Mushrooms with Butter and Shallots image

With little effort, these harbingers of spring can be prepped to use in a multitude of dishes. One of the tastiest is simply sauteing them with butter and shallots. It's a classic way to highlight their umami earthiness. This preparation makes a delicious accompaniment to any main dish, though it's equally wonderful tossed with pasta, stirred into risotto, served alongside eggs -- and of course, enjoyed on its own.

Time 10m

Yield 4 to 6 side servings (3 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add the butter, olive oil, thyme, shallot and garlic to a large high-sided skillet.

Morels are not available most of the year, but you can sometimes find them at farmers markets or specialty food stores.
