Morels Recipe

Preparation and Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Gnocchi

   Peel and boil the potatoes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly, then mash until smooth. Mix in flour, salt, and a pinch of pepper until a dough forms. Roll into logs and cut into small pieces to form gnocchi. Shape each piece with a fork.

2. 2

   Cook the Morels

   Clean the morel mushrooms thoroughly and slice them in half. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the morels and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and golden. Add the Pinot Blanc wine and cook until reduced by half.

3. 3

   Cook the Gnocchi

   Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi into the water and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and transfer to the skillet with the morels.

4. 4

   Combine and Serve

   Add the cultured cream and fresh herbs to the skillet with the gnocchi and morels. Toss gently to combine and heat through. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
