FRESH MOREL (MORCHELLA) MUSHROOMS
Extra Quality Grade AA Hand Selected Fresh Morels
Fresh Morels are unique with their meaty texture and earthy, nutty flavour and are one of the most desired wild mushrooms in the world.
They are not farmed like most mushrooms but gathered in the wild. The part that we eat is the fruiting body of the underground organism called mycelium, which has a complex symbiotic relationship with trees. Every spring, mushroom enthusiasts, foraging chefs, and an ever-growing group of commercial harvesters hunt these little forest treasures.
Our fresh Morels are hand-selected for quality and freshness. Due to their natural growing habitat, they will contain loose soil and grit. The best way to prepare them is to fill a bowl with cold water, toss the mushrooms in batches and agitate them in the water for a few seconds. Lift them out of the water and repeat the process 2-3 times, working quickly until the water is clear.
Place the Fresh Morels on a tray lined with kitchen paper and allow them to dry in the fridge overnight. The stalks can be trimmed at the bottom for good presentation or removed altogether.
To cook fresh morels, heat a non-stick pan, then add a splash of olive oil and a small knob of butter (the oil helps stop the butter burning). Once the butter is foaming in the pan, add the morels and fry for 2 minutes while spooning over the foaming butter; finish with small slices of fresh garlic if desired. Season, then serve.

FRESH MOREL RISOTTO
This fabulous dish uses two springtime ingredients that work hand in hand together. In this recipe we have used the addition of Cep powder to give the base a deep rich mushroom flavour.
The method for any great risotto is always the same, it should have a slight bite to it, be luxurious, creamy, and gently fall outwards on the plate but not collapse. Adding the stock gradually allows more stirring for the starches to be released from the rice, creating the lovely creamy consistency you are looking for.
STUFFED MORELS WITH NDUJA, TOMATOES & BASIL
This dish perfectly combines the earthy richness of morel mushrooms with the spicy kick of nduja, all balanced by the fresh flavours of tomatoes and basil.
Whether you're hosting a dinner party or looking to elevate a weeknight meal, this recipe offers a delightful and sophisticated option. Stuffed Morels are sure to impress, serve it as an appetiser or a main course, and watch as it becomes a favourite at your table!
