Morel Gravy
(Sent 26 November 2001)

Ingredients


1 Package of Dehydrated Morel Mushrooms
1-2 cups of water.
butter/margarine
Dehydrated onion flakes
AP flour.
Kosher Salt to Taste
Black Pepper to taste.

Method

   Soak the Mushrooms in water for 1-2 hours and reserve the water for later.

   Coarsely chop the dehydrated mushrooms and sauté in butter/margarine. Add some dehydrated onion flakes. Now add a couple of tablespoons of flour and lightly brown. Add the reserved water from the mushrooms and a little more fresh water if necessary. The objective is a thin light gravy. Simmer a little to allow to thicken and serve.

   They key to this recipe is the dehydrated mushrooms. Soaking them adds a lot of earthy flavor to the water, some of it from the dirt on the mushrooms. Making the gravy with the water adds more flavor to the gravy than fresh mushrooms. The onion flakes are also have a very concentrated flavor and add to the gravy.
