False Morels Fried in Sour Cream

An appetizing, vivid spring dish — false morels in a creamy sauce. Now, false morels (Gyromitra) aren't actually considered edible — in fact they're regarded as poisonous, especially if they aren't prepared correctly. So this dish is strictly for experienced foragers. We make it every May, because it's wonderful: spring has barely arrived and you can already head into the woods for mushrooms. Fellow mushroom hunters will get it :)

  • First, wash the mushrooms very thoroughly — they usually hold a lot of grit — then cut them into large pieces and cover them with water. Soak the false morels for 45 minutes, then change the water and repeat the cycle two more times. After the third soak, drain the water and put the mushrooms on to boil in lightly salted water. Boil them for half an hour, then drain in a colander and let all the liquid run off. Peel and finely chop the onion, then fry it in butter until nicely golden. Add the prepared mushrooms and cook everything together over medium heat until the moisture has almost fully evaporated. Now it's time for the sour cream. Stir it into the pan and fry the mushrooms in the sour cream for 10 minutes, adding salt if needed. The sour cream sauce should turn slightly golden-brown. Scatter chopped green onion over the finished dish. Enjoy!
