    Hey gang,

    During peak morel season i ordered a couple pounds of fresh morels from the PNW. This was one of the dishes I made!

    Calamarata. Sautéed Morels. Braised Rabbit. Peas. Scallions. Pecorino.

    As I’m sure you can see the dish is actually rather simple.

    Morels were simply done in butter and thyme.

    The rabbit was braised in stock and a little wine with aromatics until it was just about fall off the bone.

    I reduced the stock. Added a little Crème fraîche for richness and tang. Pecorino for salt and that umami factor. Emulsified with a little pasta water.

    That’s about it! I hit my portion with extra ground black pepper.

    Cheers!

  2. Question. When you cooked the morels do you cook them without anything just dry in the pan till they release and then ad the butter and thyme or do you do butter and thyme at the start?

    Wow this is a very beautiful and well put together dish. Very nice. So the sauce is just a stick reduction with creme fraiche eh? Love this
