Equipment
- 1 frying pan
- 1 salad spinner (to dry your mushrooms after washing)
- 1 pastry brush
- 1 sharp knife
- 2 bowls (one for your eggs & one for your breadcrumbs)
Servings 2 people
Ingredients
- 250 grams morel mushrooms
- 60 grams bread sticks (crushed into a coarse flour)
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 20 grams butter (approximately)
- 1 clove garlic (peeled & finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (optional)
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- salt (to season)
Instructions
- First of all, clean your mushrooms with a pastry brush, working it into the little holes of the mushroom cap.
- If you want to, you can now soak your mushrooms in lightly salted water for 5 minutes to make sure any possible critters are released.
- Now cut your mushrooms in half lengthways and either pat them dry or use a salad spinner to dry them.
- Place them into your egg bowl and mix around until they are all well coated.
- Gently heat your butter in your frying pan and add your chopped garlic, allowing to saute for a couple of minutes over a low to medium heat.
- Meanwhile sprinkle the coarse flour breadcrumbs over your mushrooms and mix around until they are all coated.
- Now add to your frying pan and cook gently for 10 minutes, flipping once, until they are golden and crisp.
- Season with salt and pepper (and chilli if using) and then remove from the heat.
- Serve immediately either on their own as light meal or as an accompaniment to a larger breakfast.
Notes
- As with all of our recipes, the nutrition facts for our sauteed morel mushrooms recipe are meant as a rough guide. Please do your own due diligence if you have any special dietary requirements.
- In Turkey, there is a type of coarse flour called Galeta Unu. This is what we use to coat our morel mushrooms. If you can't get this, smashed breadsticks will do the same job.
