Deep Fried Morel Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• Place morels in a large bowl of warm salted water and leave to soak, about 30 minutes. Drain.
• Combine flour, cracker crumbs, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, and cumin in a large resealable plastic bag to make breading mix.
• Whisk milk and egg together in a small bowl.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Dip mushrooms, a few at a time, into milk mixture. Toss in breading mix until coated; shake off excess.
• Fry breaded morels in the hot oil, working in batches, until dark brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• 1. Cut morels in half lengthwise & place in warm salt water to soak. This not only cleans & removes bugs & sand, but reconstitutes any that have dried some.
• 2. Mix all dry ingredients in large ziplock bag. Set aside.
• 3. Mix egg & milk in another bowl.
• 4. Take mushrooms out of water a few at a time & dip in egg mix, then in dry mix.
• 5. Shake off excess & drop in deep fryer that the oil is heated to about 325°- 350° or high heat. Fry on one side until dark, then flip & finish frying the other side.
• 6. Note: If you have a batter pro bowl for breading, that's what I use.
• 7. Drain on paper towel. They should be crisp & stay crisp.
• 8. * I recommend adding a little more cayenne if you like the zip in it. I can't do real hot any more. It's great either way.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and garlic salt. Mix in egg and water until smooth.
• Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Test to see if oil is hot by frying a drop of batter. If it sizzles and floats to the top, the oil is ready.
• Dip mushrooms into the batter and then place in the hot oil. Fry a few at a time so they are not crowded, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Place halved morel mushrooms in a large bowl; cover with cold, lightly salted water. Refrigerate mushrooms for about 5 minutes to loosen any dirt; pour off salted water, rinse, and repeat twice more. Crevices of the mushrooms may harbor tiny stones or even insects. Thoroughly rinse mushrooms a final time and allow to drain on paper towels.
• Place flour in a shallow bowl.
• Heat vegetable shortening in a large skillet until very hot.
• Roll mushrooms in flour and tap off excess; gently lay mushrooms in the hot shortening.
• Pan-fry until golden brown and flour coating is crisp, 5 to 8 minutes, turning often. Drain morels on paper towels, salt to taste, and enjoy your treasures!

Coat the mushrooms in the egg and milk mixture, then toss them in the cracker crumbs. Carefully place the coated mushrooms in the heated oil. The mushrooms will cook quickly.
