Ingredients

450 g fresh morel mushrooms (dirt gently brushed off and mushrooms halved lengthwise)

120 g all-purpose flour

240 ml vegetable shortening

salt to taste

Directions

Step 1

Place the halved morel mushrooms in a large bowl and cover them with cold, lightly salted water. Refrigerate the mushrooms for about 5 minutes to loosen any dirt. Pour off the salted water, rinse, and repeat twice more. Make sure to thoroughly rinse the mushrooms to remove any dirt or debris and allow them to drain on paper towels.

Step 2

Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Heat the vegetable shortening in a large skillet until very hot.

Step 3

Roll the mushrooms in the flour, tap off the excess, and gently lay them in the hot shortening.

Step 4

Pan-fry the mushrooms until golden brown and the flour coating is crisp, which should take about 5 to 8 minutes. Turn them often for even frying. Drain the morels on paper towels, season with salt to taste, and enjoy your flavorful treasures!
