Food with Chef Karl - The Delightful, Delectable Morel Mushroom

If you were to ask me about ingredients I would select to be part of my last meal, I'm sure mushrooms would be one of them. In particular, Chanterelles along with the focus of this story- Morels. There are a few things that signal Spring to me: Redbud trees blooming, picking ramps and the cooking and hunting of the treasured Morels! To clean morels, soak in cold water to help loosen the debris, moving them around with your hand. You can also cut them in half lengthwise as this will allow you to easily clean the hollow stems. Lift them out of the water and allow to drain. As there are sometimes bugs making a home inside the stems, I always cut them; I don't need an unexpected protein source!
