| Post subject: | A mushroom question. |
I have been wanting to make the Chicken and Morels recipe that's been posted here. Fresh morels are popping up pretty abundantly here right now and I was wondering about substituting them. Do you think I'll lose the intense flavor the dried might provide? When substituting fresh for dried herbs I usually use 3-4/1. Would that be a reasonable amount for this? Thanks, Deb |

I have never used fresh so I can't help regarding the amount. I do use the liquid that is left, so you'd lose that if you used fresh. I did see a recipe where they used 4 oz. fresh instead of the 1 oz. dried. I need to make this again soon. |

I wondered about the all the flavor in the liquid too. Maybe I'll try half and half. Thanks, Alina. |

I think a combo of fresh and dried is a good idea. But if you have that many morels, you may also want to invest in a dehydrator. I live in porcini land, and (in a good year), dry a significant amount of them. Some mushrooms just don't dry and rehydrate well, e.g., chanterelles, so I just make a pig of myself on them when they're in season. But morels and porcinis...fabulous. Amy |

Thanks, Amy though I don't think we'll have more than we can eat fresh. We cooked up a lunch yesterday with them and some freshly caught walleye. Yum! This late, wet spring in MN must have been just what the morels were lookin for. Deb |

Alina, In your opinion would the chicken and morels recipe work well with mixed mushrooms? It looks to me like it would, but I don't get much in the way of morels down here. My husband was recently in MI and brought back a jar of mixed dried mushrooms and I thought this dish might be the right way to showcase them. Thanks, --Lisa |

I've used the mixed dried mushrooms fromCostco with great success in this recipe! |

I also used the dry mushroom mix from Costco, as I had that on hand. I used about an ounce of dried and several ounces of fresh morels, which I cooked down before adding. It was divine. I served it with the grilled romaine hearts with buttermilk/dill dressing from Serious Eats. It was also delicious. We usually go out on Friday nights but really, it doesn't get much better than this! |
