We had Morells growing in the back yard, I was so excited! This is the first year we ever had them, so I made sure to carefully examine them to confirm that we indeed had the edible type variety growing back there, they certainly were! I was so excited and I quickly went to work in the kitchen to come up with the perfect recipe to show off these wonderful, wild mushrooms! You can always make this with regular button or crimini mushrooms and it would be delicious, but if you ever get a chance to try them with the morell mushrooms, I highly recommend them in this dish!

    Add broth and half & half to skillet and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until sauce has thickened.

    Return morrells and asparagus to skillet and add peas and spring onions. Cook for just a moment more until peas are thawed and warm. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
