Morels are a mildly flavored mushroom, with a pleasant earthiness and nuttiness. Compared to shiitake or portabella, morels have a much more muted âmushroomyâ flavor, with a touch of sweetness and a mossy and woody aroma.

Morels need thorough cleaning and cooking to be eaten safely. First, trim any dry or soft bits from the mushrooms. Next, rub them using a mushroom brush or a paper towel to remove dirt from their nooks and crannies. You can also drunk them quickly in cool water, then swish and agitate to release dirt.

How do you Cook morels?
Like most mushrooms, morels have a great ability to brown deeply and crisp up when cooked properly â but their magic is in their hollow structure and brainy texture. Theyâre practically designed to be stuffed with herbs or swimming in a pasta sauce! Morels can be pan fried, sauteed, baked, roasted, stuffed, pickled, steamed, and boiled.
