Morel dinner

My first morel experience was nothing short of amazing.  Not only did I find them in our yard, but we made a meal with them that was out of this world.

Dinner was a loosely adapted version of this recipe using some of our deer tenderloin.  The morels were fun to work with - this being my first time.  I cut them into cross-sections (per advice from myco-geek friend) and soaked them in salt water in order to halt any insect life happening in these little buggars (though none was found).

We added some butter and onions as well as asparagus from the garden and finished them off with a red wine/beef broth roux. 

It was.....

DIVINE!!!!
