Fried Morels Recipe

	Cheryilyn / All my dishes 4 months, 3 weeks ago My father discovered Morels when we moved to the mountains when I was a teen. He used to take out hunting with him, a great way for dads to bond with a teen daughter. This the only way he would fix them, swore they were better than steak. So simple, ...

Oh how I miss hunting and eating morels. They would be our main(and only) course. I've been told they can be found up here, but we don't have the same luck like we did down in the Midwest.

Morels have to be my favorite shroom. My mom used to take me hunting with her on my grandparent's land, which has long ago been sold. Man I miss those days....

I can't wait for them to start popping up around here. I've never made them myself so I'm saving your recipe. Yummy!

Oh man! this is very similar to how we prepare our morels...now I am dying to go mushroom hunting. And you're right - my daughter (mushrooms only...she's just 4!) and nieces always look forward to hunting deer, turkey AND mushrooms with their Daddies. how many good-for-you activities can make a teenage girl WANT to spend time w/ her parents? :-)

Delicious and simple. Couldn't ask for more. One question though - what's the fried garlic and onion for?
