Asparagus, Spring Onion, And Morel Mushroom Sauté
- 1/3 pound fresh morel mushrooms or 1 oz. dried (see Notes)
- 3 bunches asparagus, ends trimmed and stalks peeled (see Notes)
- 3 bunches green onions, white and pale green parts only, root ends trimmed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup creme fraiche
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. If using dried morels, put them in a small bowl, cover with 1 cup boiling water, and let stand 10 minutes. Lift out and pat dry.
- Meanwhile, generously salt remaining boiling water. Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water and set near the stove. Add asparagus to boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from water and immediately plunge into ice bath to stop cooking. Repeat process with green onions. Drain asparagus and onions on paper towels, then cut asparagus spears in half.
- In a large frying pan over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add morels, asparagus, and onions and cook 1 minute, tossing gently to coat with butter. Stir in creme fraiche and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until heated through, 4 minutes longer. Transfer to a serving dish.
