Description
A luxurious cream sauce featuring morel mushrooms, perfect for pasta, meat, or vegetables, capturing the essence of spring.
Ingredients
- 8 oz morel mushrooms
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 shallot
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup broth (chicken or vegetable)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until melted.
- Add the shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.
- Stir in the garlic and continue to cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the morel mushrooms to the skillet, cooking until they are tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it reduce slightly for about 3 minutes.
- Lower the heat, then stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens, around 4-5 minutes.
- Mix in the Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and integrate into the sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Fresh morels are best, but dried morels can be used if rehydrated. Homemade broth enhances flavor, and Parmesan is recommended for richness.
