HUNTING

[Wild Gene]

So,is anyone else's favorite hunting season "Morel Season"? It has been a tough year this year on my place. They are finding them by the five gallon bucket about thirty miles away, but the last time I went I saw very few. No little mushroom poops, no little mushroom trails, they didn't come to calls, nothing. My best luck was to pretend to walk away, then turn around real fast, and spot them before they had a chance to pop back down.

I have friends that freeze them, but I like to dehydrate them, then vacuum seal them in mason jars.

The richness a few dried morels adds to red sauce is amazing.

I had a Hungarian Mushroom soup at a restaurant last week made with Morels, and it was one of those foods I will never forget for the rest of my life. Anyone have any good receipes?

Tell me about your "hunting obsession".
