This week, I am trying a new type of produce that I have never cooked with before- morels.  I always like to extend my culinary knowledge however and really wanted to see what all the fuss about morels was about.  I tried to pull together a list of morel recipes that I’ve always wanted to try, but I haven’t been able to wrap my head around the price of morels (I paid $19.99 for .75 ounces of dried wild morels…yikes!)  Of course, you could try to forage for morels yourself, but it’s advised to always do so with an expert as many similar looking varieties of mushrooms can be quite toxic (and some even deadly.)

Here are 10 Morel Recipes that look quite appetizing:

• Asparagus and Morel Quiche from Sunset, April 2010
• Asparagus with Morels and Tarragon from Mark Bittman
• Beef Medallions with Bacon and Morels from Food & Wine
• Chicken with Morels from Ina Garten
• Creamy Mushroom Soup from Martha Stewart
• Crispy Morel Fry (+ additional morel recipes) from Mushroom-Appreciation.com
• Grilled Flatbread with Morels from Annie’s Eats
• Morel Mushroom Gnocchi from Ashley’s Cooking Adventure
• Morel Omelette from Saveur
• Spring Risotto from Cooking Light, March 2005

Food bloggers, please link up your morel recipes below. It would be great if you could link back to 2 Sisters 2 Cities or add our button to your morel post (our button can be found on the top of the right-hand column), but it is not required. :)  Readers, please “like” the recipes below that you like the best!
