Chris, Morals can be used pretty much like any other mushrooms except they generally shouldn't be eaten raw. They can be stewed, baked or even stuffed with creamed chicken or steak. I prefer them just sauteed in a shallow fry pan with a little butter or margarine until they are soft and golden brown. They're great served as a side dish with most any meal but especially with a steak dinner. Morals can also be used to top pizzas and are delicious when fried ukp with eggs for breakfast. In preparing morals for cooking be sure to wash them thoroughly in salt water to remove any grit or dirt. I usually cut off a small section of the bottom as well since this part is often stained and tough. Another thing I've learned over the years is to check out the insides of morals by cutting them open length-wise. The hollow interior of moral mushrooms can often harbor little surprises like ants, slugs or other critters you probably don't want to add to your diet. Morals are definately one of the most sought after and prized mushrooms in North America. They are easy to identify even by amateur mushroom hunters thanks to their distinctive honeycomb or spronge-like conical cap. I really don't know of any other fungi with such a delicious nutty mouth-watering flavor either. Good luck moral hunting and enjoy. |
