MOREL MUSHROOMS WITH BUTTER AND SHALLOTS



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.

PASTA WITH MORELS, PEAS AND PARMESAN



Pasta With Morels, Peas and Parmesan image

Morels are expensive, but a few go a long way and there is nothing quite like them for flavor and texture -- chewy, meaty and that aroma, earthy and exotic. Even at $30 a pound, $7 or $8 seems well worth the price.

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Salt and ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh shelled peas
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 pound morels, about 8 medium
8 ounces pasta
1 cup finely grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Bring to a boil 2 pots of water, one small and one large, and salt both. Cook the peas for 1 minute in the small pot; drain and cool quickly by submerging in ice water.
  • Meanwhile, melt half the butter in a skillet. Cut the morels into 4 pieces each, the long way, and brown them lightly in the butter, seasoning them with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the pasta until it is nearly done. Just before draining, toss the peas and remaining butter with the morels and turn the heat to medium. Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water. Toss the pasta with the morels and peas, adding a little water if necessary to make the mixture saucy. Toss with the Parmesan and lots of black pepper and serve immediately.

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 1/4 ounces dried morels (about 1 1/3 cups)
2 (1 1/3-inch-thick) veal rib chops
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, smashed
1 thyme sprig
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
2 tablespoon Cognac
2/3 cup crème fraîche
1/2 tablespoon chopped chives
1 teaspoon chopped tarragon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Pour boiling water over morels in a small bowl and soak until morels are softened, about 30 minutes. Transfer morels with a slotted spoon to a medium-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Press on morels with back of spoon to remove excess liquid (be careful not to squeeze out all the moisture), then add to soaking liquid and reserve. Rinse morels to remove any grit. Reserve morels and liquid separately, allowing liquid to settle.
  • While morels soak, let veal chops stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
  • Pat chops dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper (total). Heat an ovenproof 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over medium-high heat until hot. Add oil and heat until smoking, then add veal chops and sear underside well, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn chops over and sear 1 minute.
  • Add butter, garlic, and thyme to skillet and baste veal with melting butter. Transfer skillet to oven and cook, basting every few minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center of chop registers 130 to 135°F for medium-rare, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Transfer chops to a plate to rest. Discard garlic and thyme, keeping juices and fat in skillet, and return to burner over medium-high heat. (Handle will be very hot.) Add morels and sauté 1 minute. Add shallot and sauté 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat briefly and add Cognac, then return to heat and deglaze, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until most of liquid has evaporated. Slowly pour in reserved soaking liquid, being careful to leave last tablespoon (containing sediment) in bowl. Add meat juices from plate and boil until liquid has reduced to about 1/3 cup.
  • Stir in crème fraîche, swirling to incorporate, and boil until morels are lightly coated and liquid is slightly thickened. Stir in chives and tarragon and season with salt and pepper. Serve chops smothered with morels.

For a Christmas Eve dinner that looks impressive but is easy to make, this seafood dish ticks the boxes

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 red peppers, halved and deseeded
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced, plus 1 whole peeled clove
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
125ml white wine or vermouth
800g large prawns, unpeeled
1 baguette, sliced into 2cm pieces
1 tsp smoked paprika
small bunch of parsley
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the peppers, cut-side up, in a roasting tin. Scatter the sliced garlic into the peppers. Drizzle over half the oil and add a splash of the wine. Season. Cover with foil and bake for 40 mins. Leave to cool for 10 mins. If making ahead, leave at room temperature for up to a few hours until ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the prawns. Remove the heads, peel, and leave the tails intact, if you like. Or, for more flavour, leave them unpeeled. Use a sharp knife to cut down the back of each prawn from the head to just before the tail (this is harder to do if unpeeled, but still worth it). You'll find a black line along some prawns. Remove this with the knife. Keep chilled, following pack instructions, until ready to cook.
  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Rub the baguette slices with the garlic clove, then drizzle with 2 tbsp oil. Bake for 10 mins. Leave to cool. Can be made a few hours ahead. For the gremolata, combine the parsley, garlic, oil and lemon zest with a pinch of salt (no more than 1 hr before serving). Cut the lemon in half and set aside.
  • Uncover the peppers, then peel and discard the skins. Slice or tear the peppers into strips. Turn the oven up to 240C/220C fan/gas 8.
  • Put the prawns and peppers into a 25cm round baking dish. Toss with the rest of the wine, paprika and remaining oil. Season. Lay the prawns in a single layer with the lemon halves, cut-side up. Roast for 10 mins, tossing halfway. The prawns will turn pink when ready. 6 Meanwhile, spread the gremolata over the toasts. Squeeze the lemon halves over the prawns, and serve with the toasts on the side.

Tips:

  • To clean morels, gently brush off any dirt or debris with a soft brush. If the morels are very dirty, you can rinse them quickly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  • Be careful not to overcook the prawns. They should be cooked just until they are opaque and pink in the center.
  • If you don't have morel butter on hand, you can use regular butter instead. However, the morel butter will add a delicious earthy flavor to the dish.
  • To make morel butter, simply melt some butter in a saucepan and add some chopped morels. Cook the morels until they are softened and fragrant, then remove them from the heat and let the butter cool.
  • This dish is best served immediately. However, you can store the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Roasted prawns with morels and morel butter is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The prawns are roasted to perfection and the morels add a rich, earthy flavor. The morel butter is the perfect finishing touch, adding a touch of luxury to this already special dish.
