True magic for sauces and meats
The morchella or morel is an exquisite and scarce mushroom that can only be found in the wild.
Its hat-like shape with cells resembles a beehive and it has a thick stem that adheres firmly to the ground.
Morchella is the second most demanded mushroom in international haute cuisine after the truffle. In France, it is considered one of the four most delicious mushrooms in its cuisine, where it is the star of classic dishes such as steak in sauce or chicken stewed in white wine.
Its flavor is a mixture of hazelnut, wood and other mushrooms that ultimately transform it into a versatile ingredient that enhances different types of meats and sauces.
How and in what to use it?
We offer dehydrated morchella in two formats: ground and whole.
The ground morchellas can be applied directly in a sauce and boiled until the mixture thickens. In the case of whole morchellas, you should soak them in hot water or broth for two hours to rehydrate them. Once ready, wash them and keep the soaking liquid -without residues- which is transformed into a tasty dressing for any preparation.
The conical shape of this mushroom transforms it into a kind of sponge, ideal for making stews such as beef, chicken cocotte, rabbit stew, among others. Or to give a different touch to egg preparations such as omelets, pancakes or simply scrambled eggs.
Because of its powerful flavor, morchella goes well with red meats such as beef, pork, lamb and all game. For white meats, we recommend combining it with rabbit, chicken and turkey.
If you are a vegetable lover, mix it with asparagus, beans, potatoes, broccoli or peas. And if fish is your thing, a morchella sauce is the best friend of a salmon, turbot or sea bass fillet.
Although risotto is an Italian specialty, French cuisine has made it its own. morchella risotto a real delicacy. A tip: to make it use whole morchellas and use the soaking liquid to cook it.
