Skillet Fried Morels
Here's a recipe from my first time to cook and eat morels. My husband's uncle had found some in the woods and brought us some to try. They were delicious.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 6 whole morel mushrooms soaked in salt water for 1-2 days
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Soak morels in cold salt water for 24 hours, refrigerated. Place a plate over them to keep them submerged. This is to kill the bugs that might be in them.
- Rinse mushrooms in cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels.
- On a large plate, stir together the all-purpose flour, seasoned salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Dredge mushrooms in the flour mixture to coat well on all sides.
- In a medium cast iron skillet heat the vegetable oil. Cook mushrooms for 3-4 minutes on medium heat until golden brown on each side. Serve warm as appetizers.
