Ingredients

  • morel mushrooms
    ½ c
  • hot water
    1 c
  • butter
    2 tbsp
  • shallot
    1
  • garlic
    2 clove
  • dry white wine
    ¼ c
  • heavy cream
    1 c
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the dried morel mushrooms in a bowl and cover them with 1 cup of hot water. Let them soak for 20 minutes until they have softened. Drain the mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid if desired, and chop them coarsely.

  2. 2

    In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallot and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the soaked and chopped morel mushrooms to the saucepan. Sauté them with the shallots and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes to release their flavors.

  4. 4

    Pour in 1/4 cup of dry white wine. Allow the mixture to simmer until the wine has reduced by half, concentrating the flavors and removing the alcohol, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

  6. 6

    Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve the sauce hot over your choice of pasta, steak, or poultry for a decadent dish.
