Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 lb wild morel
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon fine ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Recipe

• 1 if your mushrooms are wild found - then they should be cleaned and soaked in salt water overnight to make sure there isn't anything else in them. should you have to buy them from a vendor then just rinse and drain them.
• 2 mix the seasonings into the flour and set up a suitable work area for frying - mushrooms on one side, flour in the middle and an empty plate to set them on next to the skillet.
• 3 add vegetable oil to a skillet 1/4 inch deep and turn on medium high to preheat while you flour.
• 4 hand dip each mushroom half into the flour and set on the empty plate.
• 5 once they are all floured and the oil is hot, carefully add to the skillet one at a time and fry for 4 or 5 minutes on each side unit golden brown.
• 6 remove from the skillet and set on a clean plate to drain and cool and enjoy. the only way i know to describe a fresh fried morel is that it tastes like a little bit of heaven.
• 7 if you do go out in the woods to find your morels - make sure you know exactly what you are looking for or consult an expert first.
